Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

I485 withdraw due to divorce

My I140 was approved, but I485 is still pending. I am the principal applicant, my wife is the dependant of my application. If we are going to divorce, can I withdraw her application, but still keep mine? Can I write to BCIS about my case? otherwise, how to do it? THanks a lot.
