A: One does not get deported due to a traffic ticket. I suspect that the father was detected by ICE and determined to be illegally present in the USA and then placed in deportation court proceedings. Next, If this was more than 5 years ago, he may be able to return on a US citizen immediate relative's petition with a waiver of the 10 year bar. I would urge you to consult with and hire an immigration lawyer to assist you with this case. Not because I think you’re not capable of handling it, you may will be, but in order for the lawyer to debrief and brief you, analyze, assess and evaluate your case in order to maximize the possibilities for a successful result. Your question requires too many questions on my part and too many answers on your part before I can even formulate recommendations as to the course(s) of action you should take.
