Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

I just received my permanent card last month but my husband started to file the divorce paper which I refused to sign it. Do I have the legal right to live in the U.S. with the permanent card or do I need to leave U.S. right away if my husband file the divorce through the court even though I don't want to get divorced?

Filing for divorce doesn't take away or invalidates your green card. If the green card is conditional (valid for 2 years instead of 10 years), you will have to apply to remove conditions either after divorce or within 90 days prior to 2-year deadline, whichever sooner.
