Only the U.S. government can cancel a green card once it is issued. And then, only if there was fraud involved when you got it or you commit a deportable crime. Your father has no legal way of cancelling your green card on his own.

No, a sponsoring relative is not able to cancel beneficiaries' "Green Cards." If your mother was granted "Conditional Resident Status" (sometimes called a "two-year Green Card") then your father could decide not to cooperate with the required step of filing a Petition to Remove Conditions during the required 90 day period; if that were to happen, then your mother may be able to file such a Petition by herself with a request that the USCIS waive the usual requirement that the married couple file that Petition together.
