No. As long as you have proof that your marriage was genuine, then there is not much that he can do.

Not without you. You will have your side of the story.

It depends on how you got your green card, when and on what basis.

No, if your marriage was a true marriage at the beginning.

Only the U.S. government can revoke your green card. However, if you have a conditional (2 yr) green card and do not have the condition removed, USCIS can deem your permanent residency abandoned and revoke your green card. If you have a regular (10 yr) green card, you will not have any problems.

He could try to cause trouble, but only an immigration judge or perhaps Homeland Security, can revoke a green card. Normally, you'd get due process, which means the right to a trial before a judge.

Under immigration law, the question that immigration service ask is whether the marriage, when it took place, was a bona fide marriage. Bona fide marriage under immigration law essentially is a marriage where the husband and wife intend to make a life together. So since you were married and your marriage was a bona fide marriage, your husband after separation cannot revoke your greencard.
