I've been married for 3 months. It seems like I'm just being used for my money and a place to stay for him and his child. He's been using down to my credit cards with out my knowing taking off cash advances. He is also very verbally abusive
First, immediately call up all your credit card companies and remove him as an authorized user, and tell them to cancel the cards and issue you new ones with different numbers. Then, tell him he owes you the money he took as cash advances, and that you want it back immediately. Then kick him out. Since he's got a kid, give him till the end of the school year, if necessary. Then file for divorce.
You say he's verbally abusive- if you're afraid of him, and you have grounds, get an order of protection in criminal or family court.
Since New York has no fault divorce, divorce makes more sense than annulment. You don't need a reason to get a divorce, but you do need to prove grounds for an annulment. It probably won't be very time consuming because without your credit cards it's doubtful that your gold digger hubby will be able to afford a good lawyer. Go with a divorce, not an annulment.
