what is the ground of filing the divorce. its not easy to get divorce unless the ground is made out andin your situation, you have a daughter as well and it is advisable to live peacefully for he sake of welfare of your daughter.
Your statement does not disclose any ground for divorce. There is no such judgement declaring that divorce can be sought just for the asking. The income of 25,000 being shown by you is not important. The court may award maintenance based upon 'standard of living'; and permanent alimony may be awarded on the basis of gross value of your total assets.
If you are found guilty of 'cruelty' and domestic violence on the basis of a complaint that may be made by your wife, you may also be directed to make payment of damages / compensation besides facing criminal trial.
you have no strong for filling divorce.
