I guess in a sense, your out-of-state spouse can sign off. Go to your family law attorney and ask the lawyer if you qualify for an uncontested divorce. If so, the proper documents can be prepared, your wife can sign off, and you and a party familiar with the marriage as a witness may appear before the court and obtain your divorce.
