Yes, you can get divorced, with or without her cooperation. See the "Grounds and Jurisdiction" and "Divorce" pages of our website, www.willicklawgroup.com.

If she ignores your filing, you can default her -- you get just as divorced (it just takes a few weeks longer); and there is essentially no basis for her to oppose your request, from anything you have mentioned. Your first step is a consultation with a competent divorce attorney. You can do it yourself, if you choose -- For those that wish to attempt self-representation, forms are available at the Clark County self-help center website, at http://www.clarkcountycourts.us/shc/Supporting Documents/self_help_supportingdocs.html.
