In the interest of your child, and to save your 14 years of married life, it may be better you both try to draw peace and stop fighting over small issues. Before divorce is granted, you will need to pay her litigation expenses as also a maintenance amount which may be determined as per your standard of living. Since you belong to a "reputed" family, you might be having good property. She will also be entitled to claim a share in your property.
You should weigh all pros and cons before taking a final decision.
