And why would you think that you could not divorce her?

You will need to hire a lawyer to set up a guardianship/conservatorship for your wife. Your wife will also need a lawyer.

Then you will need to hire a lawyer to do your divorce.

NC has no fault and fault grounds for divorce, it seems that your question may be more about property settlements and alimony which is normally withheld with adultery, however, a judge may also allow for her mental disability. Getting an attorney is a very good idea as well as a guardian for her, unless you are willing to step up to your responsibility as her husband.
