More details to this question:
My girlfriend is a Filipina. She is married but has been separated for over 7 years. Her husband has agreed to sign for her divorce. She and I cannot afford it in the Philippines as an annulment as it way too expensive. She is currently living and working in Hong Kong for last 2 years. I told her to file it there but she says she cannot do it without an attorney there.

If she was living in the USA and met the residency requirements (for example, in Florida a person must reside in the state for 6 months in order to be able to file for divorce) then she could file it here.

She would have to be a resident of Florida for 6 months before a divorce can be filed here. It can be done. The filing fee is over $400, and a reasonable fee for an uncontested divorce.
