My boyfriend is legally separated and is trying to file for divorce. His wife is bi-polar and very unpredictable. If she decides not to sign, what is to be determined as a result?

I suspect that it will be the case that your boyfriend’s marriage has irretrievably broken down. If he is able to establish this on the basis of her behaviour or adultery then he will be entitled to a divorce which is not conditional upon his wife's agreement. He must however be in a position to prove service of the petition upon her.
