Can I get my ex-husband’s green card taken away if I no longer support him?
My ex-husband got married 9 years ago; he filed for divorce 4 years ago right after he received his green card. We were engaged to be married even before the divorce was finalized. When we filed for his green card I was the one who filed the Affidavit of Support but I do not support him anymore. Can I have his green card revoked?

No, you cannot have his green card revoked. If he got it while he was legally married to you and the marriage was bona fide, then he gets to keep the green card even if you are no longer married or are not living together.
