Can legal frms from one state be notarized in another state?

I am going through a mutal divorce. I stay in one state and my wife stays in another. I filed the divorce in my state so the form she sign says notary of my state. Can she get the forms she signed notarized in her state or does she have to come here?

No, the forms - which I am assuming are for filing an uncontested divorce - can be notarized in her state by a party designated to do so.  The notary will cross out the state listed and properly list the other state.  Good luck.
