Default married uk citizen, now may divorce--

Over 2 years ago I married a UK citizen. He just got his conditional
green card in April, and now says he doesn't have the same feelings
for me anymore and sees no future with us, BUT he still wants to 'be
friends' and wants me to help him out with his next green card
interview/paperwork which I assume will be in about a year. I really
don't feel right about this, I'm assuming it is fraud at that point.
Can he file independently? Do I need a divorce before this happens?
He has always told me his company could get him a green card now, but
he doesn't want the hassle of being tied down to the company for a
couple years. I would like to know what my options are. If anyone
has information or links about these kinds of issues, it would be
appreciated.

If the marriage was bona fide, and you divorce or are seperated at the time of his applicatoin to remove conditions, he can still apply. You may need to provide some info / paperwork to corroborate the fact that your marriage was legitimate.

I gather you were married less than 2 years at the time of your AOS interview as I understood that he would have obtained a 10 year "not conditional" greencard if that were the case.

Good luck, there are many similar postings on this site, if you search under divorce.

Here is one thread that contains lots of relevant info:

Sorry, this is a better thread, that was a slightly different topic:

I still am befuddled why anyone would go through the marriage/immigration
process with all the forms,headaches and red tape and call it quits. It takes
such dedication to go through the process.........
Anyway, to answer your question, your husband should be able to go at it alone,
even if you divorce. Quite frankly, with some of the comments you quoted him
saying, it sounds to me like he planned to go at it himself all along. I would
just let him fight the battle himself.
Generally, once the aos has been awarded and a conditional residence has been
granted, there is an opportunity for the resident to be able to adjust to full
permanant resident without conditions, in cases such as divorce and death of a
spouse.
My advice is to let him figure out on his own how to make this all work.

Thanks to everyone for the information, advice and opinions-- he very
well may be on his own to figure it out! I've done enough already
