It appears that you are a conditional resident alien and your conditional resident status will expire soon. First, you should file the I-751 with request to excuse the joint filing, the 2d proviso before your the deadline of your conditional residency. Your case is not likely to be denied but you might want to include any document to show that the divorce is filed and pending. CIS will send a Notice of Action which automatically extends your temporary residence for another one year. Although, a Request for Further Evidence "RFE" asking the divorce certificate may follow, but the more likely scenario is that the Service center will forward your file to the local CIS office where you will be scheduled for an in person appearance. There, you can provide the divorce and any and all documents to show that your marriage was entered into in good faith; that you are not responsible for the break up along with other documents that may be necessary. Leaving United States under these circumstances especially while your case is pending is not a wise course of action. I think you will ultimately find that hiring an attorney is the better decision for you to make
