It depends whether he has a conditional green card or permanent. If conditional, then he will have to prove his marriage was genuine before his green card expires. If permanent, then he doesn't have to do anything.

He should be able to keep his green card since he can prove that he married for love at the beginning. He should see a lawyer if he needs help.
