Anulment or Divorce in Dominican Republic

My friend (a US citizen) married a man in the dominican Republic this past summer. Later on she found out he did not love her and had only married her fo a green card. How can she go about getting a divorce or anulment, can it be done here in the states or does she have to go to DR to do it.

Whether or not she can file for divorce/annulment in New York depends on whether they lived here together, whether she lives here and for how long, etc.
