I just saw your other post and you were asking about your name change after marriage. Now you want a divorce?
Did you marry to stay in the US?
All our legal experts are off line right now, it's late, I'm surprised I'm awake. Check back tomorrow, I'm sure someone will come along and answer your question.

You are required to file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions 90 days before date of expiration on your card. If you are still married, you may file the Form I-751 as a joint petition. Both you and your spouse will be required to sign the form.
If your marriage ends in divorce, your conditional permanent resident status terminates on the date the divorce becomes final. At that time, you are no longer a permanent resident of the United States and you become ineligible to work or travel outside the United States, among other consequences.
You may file a waiver if you become victim of domestic violence, or you're divorce because your husband are in jail, etc. but this is a complicated matter, it's recommended that you should contact an experienced immigration attorney to assist you with the process.
