Frankly, I do not understand all of the question. From what I can make out, Nevada could entertain the divorce itself, but not resolve the "incidents" of the marriage (property division, alimony, etc.) unless your husband "appeared" in the action. It is too lengthy to go into here, but consider reading some of the material on our website for an explanation. Start with "The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction" and other articles posted at http://willicklawgroup.com/grounds-and-jurisdiction/.
If that is not adequate, consider the low-and no-cost consultation options available -- consider contacting the Nevada State Bar to see what accommodations can be made for the deaf. Good luck.
