Divorce and Residency Status

[Best_name_ever]

Hello everyone,

I have recently separated from my wife and we are in the process of getting a divorce. We have been married for one year and a half but the cultural differences have taken a huge toll on our relationship and so we've decided to part ways and have a clean break. My question is the following: will the divorce affect my residency status in Finland? I am on my second residence permit which is valid until 2013. I am also currently a student and would like to keep on living here in Finland permanently.

Thank you for helping me out.

Is your residence permit based on family ties or studying?

Those two sentences don´t really match.

The residence permit is based on family ties (type A).

Well, I should rephrase that. We just saw that we were not compatible and therefore, decided to get divorced.
