If she is not willing to give divorce, you may file it on your own on the grounds of cruelty. But your intention to divorce her is to live with some other woman?

Nowadays getting converted to Muslim is not a easy job as what you have been misinformed. The consent of wife (if married) and parents for such conversion has been mandated by the Kazis in the mosque to avoid litigation in the future in this respect. So better think of some other possibility.
