The process of divorce is today a fairly simple procedure. The first step in securing a divorce is, usually, to consult a lawyer who specialises in this section of the law. Grounds for divorce vary from country to country so without further information a definitive answer cannot be given. Alternatives to divorce are available. Some are arbitration, councilling, trial separation etc. These are less final solutions and are worth considering.

How do personality disorder differ from personality traits?
I think you mean personality traits and clinical disorders. clinical disorders are not absolute but exist on a spectrum. If a person exhibits a certain number of specific symptoms over a specified period of time, they will receive a clinical diagnosis. having personality traits means that a person exhibits a portion of what it takes to be diagnosed with a personality disorder. for example, a person can have narcissistic traits (we all do, actually) but not have narcissistic personality disorder.
Is there women who is a psychopathic?
Most certainly. Exact figures are impossible to forecast because of lack of presentation and inexpert diagnosis. Furthermore as psychopathy is nowadays regarded as a legal term rather than medical (similar to insanity) it is extremely rare to have a diagnosis unless in the process of the law. The term psychopathy was perhaps first introduced and refined by Cleckley and Hare. The list if traits is quite long but probably the closest correlations in the DSM are the "cluster B" personality disorders.Exact classifications of the personality disorders between the sexes is blighted by gender politics but much of the modern psychological thinking suggests that the masculine form of psychopathy is most commonly seen as AntiSocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)and the feminine form of psychopathy is manifested mainly as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD.) Although these are regarded as masculine or feminine styles they can be widely found in both men and women.
When do personality traits become a disorders?
1/ Typically personality traits are only graduated to a disorder when they are inflexible or maladaptive; to the point that it creates significant chaos and disruption in the life of those who are exhibiting the traits. Problems in society, such as work or interpersonal relations, when caused as a direct result of personality traits are considered as disorder. Sad but true. If you are getting along well for the most part with your personality traits then it is not considered disorder. For the most part we as a society exhibit similar traits, but to varying degrees. When the degree is too little or extreme this is a sign of disorder .2/ May I try to explain the difference between Personality Disorders and Personality traits. Personality disorders are according to mental health professionals diagnosis criteria, problems a few men or women may have in their personality which get them into trouble in their lives. These are characterised by that person's "failure to learn from experience or adapt appropriately to changes". As a result people having one or more Personality Disorders usually experience personal distress, serious impairment of social functioning and difficulties in employment, usually leading to them being failures in their working life and/or committing criminal offences sometimes leading to prison and problems in making friends and in their relationships with others.There are three clinical groups of personality disorders that people may suffer from, although most people with personality disorders tend to have two or more of them within their overall personality and character. The groups involve :a/ Extremely weird behaviour - including a Paranoid Personality Disorder, a Schizoid Personality Disorder, a Schizotypal Personality Disorder, and a Self- Defeating or Masochist Personality Disorder.b/ Extremely dramatic/emotional behaviour - including Histrionic Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder.c/ Behaviour dominated by anxiety and/or fear - including Dependent Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder and Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder.Regarding Personality Traits, we all have them, whereas only about 2% of us also suffer from personality disorder(s). Personality Traits are a normal part of being a human being whether you are male or female. Assessment of any normal individual's personality involves assessing the degree he or she has or does not have of each of what are termed "the Big Five Personality Factor Models". These are:-1. Openness to experience.2. Conscientiousness.3. Extroversion.4. Agreeableness5. Emotional stability or Neurosis
