Ramifications of Divorce

I certainly never thought I would be asking this question after 2 years of struggle to get my wife here, but now she wants a divorce.She has her green card as does her 18yr old son.NO,it is not because she got what she wanted,we just can't get along,different cultures,different languages ,many things are at play.In any case,is she in any danger of legal proceedings to remove her or in any way affect her status? If so,we can just separate and not divorce. I do not want her to be deported.Any ramifications that anyone knows about? thanks.

If she has a 10 year green card, there is nothing else you need to do. If you filled out an affidavit of support for her, it is possible you could be held responsible should she ever need to use any public benefits, unless she meets the conditions of terminating the affidavit of support. If she has a 2 year green card, she can remove conditions without you as long as you are divorced. And she will be eligible after 5 years for citizenship instead of 3.
