I don't foresee that he would get deported because he is unemployed and cannot pay his child support.

If he has had his greencard for 10 years, the renewal is just a simple form.

If he got his residency through a relative petition, then the person who signed the affidavit of support is required to subsidize him, or the government can actually seek reimbursement for welfare paid to him from that other person!

Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions.
