Yes - she will lose her LPR status if you divorce her now.
But if your wife is so much trouble as you say, be aware if VAWA:
"As a battered spouse, child or parent, you may file an immigrant visa petition under the Violence against Women Act (VAWA). VAWA allows certain spouses, children and parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents (green card holders) to file a petition for themselves without the abuser's knowledge. This will allow you to seek both safety and independence from the abuser. The provisions of VAWA apply equally to women and men. Your abuser will not be notified that you have filed for immigration benefits under VAWA."
As soon as you tell your wife you plan to divorce her, the easiest thing for her to do is to file an immigrant petition under VAWA and say you abused her.
