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.  

In Wisconsin, the length of the marriage is one of about a dozen factors which courts must take into account when ruling on spousal support. But there is no specific law setting out what is a long versus a short marriage. Based on some legal research, I can say that appeals courts in this state have generally found that marriages lasting more than seven years are relatively long, and those lasting less than 7 years are generally short. You would do well to consult an experienced matrimonial lawyer in your area.
