your 10 year green card is prem you don't need your spouse to be your spouse to renew it any longer, with that being said, do you not want to apply for citizenship, as that would end the continued renewal, and you will not need your spouse to file for citizenship.

 

Edit: provided you have been living in the USA and met the criteria for the last 5 years of being in USA with green card

If you have a 10 years green card, your status is now completely independent of your marriage. You can renew your green card all you want. It has nothing to do with your spouse. You can be divorced, re-married, whatever.

The divorce won't matter for a 10yr gc renewal.

of course you can, you can also file for your citizenship online at least I am pretty sure.

 

before applying make sure you have met all the requirements of presence in the USA and time outside, I would encourage you to apply for it, that is unless of course you don't want to, even with that you still do not need your spouse to be able to renew your green card, you might have obtained the green card through marriage before, but as the time has passed each renewal and with yours the length doesn't mean you have to be married to the same person you were in 2005.
