Can you file for a divorce after your spouse receives his green card?

If you're talking about a regular marriage, filing for divorce should have nothing to do with a green card. If you're talking about getting married just to obtain the green card, you need to be married for four years with regular and unscheduled visits from the government.
I believe you must be married for a minimum of 2 years in order to apply for Permanent Residency.

Normally you need to stay together for 3 years in order for your spouse not to lose their green card. Your spouse can aplly to keep it and may be allowed depending on his connections to the US or his reasons for still needing to be resident there. Reasons for their keeping it could be; children, elderly parents who are legally resident, a good job where they won't likely be fired and so have to go on benefits.
Ultimately it is up to ICE. But, they'll more than likely lose it if he/she has just received it and you separate and divorce right away. They may also do an investigation to see if you two only got married for them to get a green card, if that is determined to be the case then both you and he can be charged with a federal felony.

I want to divorce my immigrant husband?
As a U.S. citizen, you would divorce your immigrant husband in exactly the same way that you would divorce a spouse if he was a citizen. I am not sure from your question, but if your husband's green card status is still pending, then divorcing him during the process will affect this application. If your husband was granted a conditional green card, his permanent residence privileges may be revoked if he is divorced within two years from the date this status was granted.
