I need to consult a divorce lawyer, but am wondering how much they charge for the initial consultaton? I hope its not $200. I just don't want to spend that kind of money right now. I am also hoping to get an annulment rather than divorce, as I feel our marriage is voidable due to fraud (I believe he just married me to get a green card).

Some lawyers don't charge anything for an initial consultation. It helps if you get a recommendation from a friend.
I would think he would fight you on the annulment if it adversely affects his immigration status. If you don't want to pay $200, you certainly don't want a legal fight on your hands. It might be easiest to just divorce and be done with it. There's nothing he can do to stop that.
