Your mother MUST file either in the state where she lives, or in the state where her husband lives. That is the only way to have jurisdiction for the court process.

If your mom moved to Nevada, then yes, she will be able to file for divorce as long as she meets the residency requirements. She will probably need to apply to serve the divorce "by publication," with which she can be assisted by her attorney or the Family Court Self-Help center.
