No it will not affect your Green Card. However, to prevent confusion when traveling you should file to replace your Green Card with one with your new (post divorce) name by filing Form I-90.

Generally, traffic violations for minor issues, such as speeding, running a red light, etc. are not evidence of lack of good moral character and would not be a reason to deny the application. We would need to know what traffic violations he was convicted of, were their misdemeanors, did he spend time in jail, did he comply with the sentence (paid the fines, did the community service, etc.) to determine if the USCIS decision was wrong. Regarding paying the fee for the N-336, he may qualify for a waiver of the fee. He needs to go to the USCIS website and review the fee waiver application form.

You should be fine but we would need to review the criminal records themselves and be sure you have completed all terms of your sentence, any fines, parole, etc. The form is an I-90 but because of the DUI with injury I definitely recommend having an attorney assist you and evaluate whether this would be a deportable offense, your eligibility for citizenship, etc.
