More details to this question:
My husband is going to prostitutes for more than a year and I found this out 3 months ago. Now he doesn't want to stop this habit and we are going through a divorce. Can his green be revoked for this reason? I have an email in which he has confessed that he is addicted to prostitution.

As a matter of law, an alien who is convicted for the commission of a crime of prostitution is also guilty of commission a crime of moral turpitude and therefore can be revoked of his/her permanent residency and be subjected to deportation. Therefore, the answer to your question is affirmative.

Yes, it can. He should seek a consult with a competent immigration attorney who specializes in criminal immigration issues to fully analyze his case.

It could be a basis for the revocation or the non-extension of his permanent residence status. This is not up to you, it is a matter of US immigration law.

If he is convicted of one or more crimes for soliciting prostitutes then his green card may be in jeopardy. Do you know if any criminal charges have been filed against him? If not he may just need counseling. Be sure you get yourself tested for AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases which you may have contracted based on his activities.
