She can file a divorce without your knowledge if she got an order for service by publication. This order is usually predicated on a declaration that we don't know where the defendant is. If you never moved/let her know your address, she shouldn't have gotten the order and you should still be married.

Write the court clerks in the counties where she lived since the separation and ask if they have any record of divorce proceedings uncer her name.
