She does not have to sign anything. You can just have her served with a Petition for Divorce and then wait the applicable time period after service.

I agree with Mr. Louque except to add that I believe you have to file a new Petition for Divorce. Since you have already been separated for over 6 months, and no children under 18, it should be a breeze. She never had and still does not have to sign anything. However, she will have to be served with the Petition.
