It is not clear where you live, since you mention "oversea", also you do not say where your wife lives or where you split. so it is difficult to say where your divorce should take place. In MA adultery is still a cause for divorce and the third party can be named in the litigation, albeit in MA there is no cause of action for alienation of affection. You should seek legal counsel to help you with the divorce.

There are probably no grounds for the law suit; it is likely an empty threat. She can be annoying.

If u want to divorce, do it and move on with your life.
