First, your marriage is void and a divorce is not the appropriate method for the relief you seek, you want the marriage either expunged or annulled and that is not a problem with the right documentation.
Second, you may also be able to bring a civil action for recovery of some of the money you spent. You should consult with an attorney in person to discuss this matter as soon as possible.

Agree with the above analysis. An annulment seems like your best course of action. His location in Philadelphia is not a problem, as we can have him served with papers there. Feel free to call me directly at 212-913-9907 or visit my website at http://www.NYCDivorceCenter.com.
