I am from Asia and my ex wife and I have been separated since 2003. We were married in our country. Unfortunately we don't have divorce in our country. Presently my cohabiting partner (15 years living together) and I have been living together here in Finland for more than 3 years now. We're both Asians. My question is, can I file a divorce here in Finland?
Filing for divorce in Finland should be possible.

Which law(s) will be applicable for the divorce is a different legal question, it might not be Finnish law.

A Finnish court deciding on a divorce where one spouse is living in Asia, and where the law of some Asian country might be used by the Finnish court for the divorce - that won't be as easy or fast as a normal Finnish divorce.

You should really ask a lawyer who is specialized in international family law.
