Is Wife's Prior Family-Based GC App Still Active if She Got GC thru Me?

I am reposting in order so my full title can be seen.

I need to divorce my non-US wife who has only recently obtained her temporary GC through marrying me.

Prior to marrying me she had an application already in process through her mother, who is also married to a US citizen.

After she married me and received a GC through me, what happened to the previous application through her mother? Is it still active or was it nullified?

Right now I am determined to divorce my wife, but at the same I would hate for her to lose her green card, so I am weighing the pros and cons on her behalf.

Thanks for all feedback.

If the petition was filed by her mother, and her mother was not a USC when your wife got married to you, the petition is definitely nullified.

But if her mother is a USC, or the petition was filed by her USC stepfather, I'm not so sure.

How long has she been married to you, and how long ago was her green card issued? Those are a couple of factors that would affect her chances of converting to the unconditional green card after the divorce.
 
We have been married 9 months. The green card was issued in April. I have discovered that she has lied to me on several occasions before and after we married, among other things, and this has led me to just plain distrust her on a very fundamental level. If I can't trust her, if she has already purposefully deceived me as much as she has done in just these few months, there is no way I'm living the rest of my life with her. Thanks for the input. I'm not so sure of who previously petitioned for her, whether it's her mother or the USC stepfather. Nor do I know if her mother is a USC or still a green card holder. Good questions.
