Yes, file for divorce. If she doesn't cooperate, you will need to schedule a contested divorce date so the judge can decide the points that you both can't agree on.

She does not need to sign any papers. You need to have the papers served on her by a sheriff or constable.

File papers for a contested divorce. She has to sign nothing.

She doesn't need to sign anything. You file papers. Have her served with them. If she doesn't respond, proceed against her by default. If she does respond, set the case for a settlement conference and trial.

All you have to do is file and have someone serve her. She can then choose to respond, join the petition or not. If she doesn't respond in some way (this means filing a response or joinder with the court and sending you a copy) you can get a default judgment after 90 days.

Your spouse does not have to sign the papers. Be certain that you complete and file the papers with the court and then ask for a trial. You will get your divorce whether or not she signs the papers.

If you can't both come to an agreement on all the issues, you will need to have a trial and the judge will decide everything and grant your divorce.

Yes Nevada is a no fault state. You would have to serve her with the Complaint, and if she does not answer the complaint within 20 days you can move forward with Default judgment for Divorce.
