More details to this question:
I married my peruvian wife in peru 6 years ago. Due to previous overstay issues, she didn't get her greencard and arrive to the US until Feb 2018. She has lived in Florida since then and has not shown an interest in moving to NJ to be with me. She also ran up my creditcard bills and caused me to have huge debts. Would filing for annulment be possible? Or divorce under which grounds?

Thank you for your question. Whether an annulment is appropriate would depend on a couple of factors. Were you living together in Peru for any duration after the marriage, or did you live here in the United States for the entirety of the marriage? Did you live together in Florida at all since the time she moved there? If an annulment is not a possibility, there are a number of grounds for divorce which we can also discuss, including but not limited to separation and/or irreconcilable differences. I recommend speaking with a family law attorney to discuss your options moving forward.

Based on your facts, annulment may be possible if it was a "sham" marriage. Divorce under abandonment may also be possible.
