Rights in regards to what? Are you wanting him to support you once you have divorced?

No his GC does not get taken away just because you divorce. Just like divorce does not nullify the Financial Affidavit you signed when you sponsored his Immigration to the US. You are hold to that for 10 years. As to the rest, this is all decided during the divorce. You will probably split the property and car etc..
