Divorcing a TD visa wife but she refuses to leave

I am a Canadian Citizen in the US on a TN visa. I have a wife from China who came to the US on a TD visa. Things were not going well in our marriage so we separated from each other. However, to allow her to stay in the US, I didn't file for a divorce. Since then, I have met someone else and we are considering getting married, so I would like to divorce my wife. She will most likely not leave the US and return to China when this happens. If she overstays her TD visa, since I was sort of her "sponsor", would this hinder my status in the US - especially when I apply for a green card later on.
 
You are not really her sponsor. Her TD was derivative on her being married, not on any support you would give.

Contact DHS if you feel that strongly about it.
