It really depends. How much is the value of the property? What are your taxes? The judge will only put what the state thinks it's worth.
So if it's just land and no building average 20K bucks for 3 acres or 1 acre in HPP. Your husband probably wouldn't want to fight for it. If you did have to fight for it, and you could prove you had a job and made the checks out or spent your own money buying the property and it is in 100% your name. More than likely he wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
I'd probably not worry about it and just go with the flow. Tho if the property was worth say a half million dollars it might be wise to get it out of your name into a family members name or someone your can "REALLY" trust.
GreenCard or no Greencard doesn't make any difference. Anyone can buy property in the USA. You don't need to be a citizen of this country to own land. It's not like Thailand.
GoodLuck!
I might add that it is kinda rare but happens. You two could work it out and just sign papers with out any lawyers ... DIY divorce. Cheapest and best option!
You only need a lawyer if someone doesn't agree to the terms.
