The only "grounds" necessary for divorce in Nevada are that the parties are incompatible. It only takes one spouse to assert incompatibility for the divorce to go forward, an agreement is not required or even necessary. As such, your wife's actions are irrelevant to grounds for divorce. If you are incompatible, and you wish to be divorced, you should see an attorney to understand how things work in Nevada and to proceed.
