The government is launching a new £14m “divorce app” to give separating couples help and advice on how to deal, as amicably as possible, with the ramifications of a divorce.
A new web-based device, which will be accessible through computers and mobile phones, will give advice on how best to separate without acrimony, including how to arrange child support payments and coping with new partners.
Ministers believe that it will save couples money in the long run as it will look to get partners, with children, trying to sort out their disputes themselves rather than using the Child Support Agency and say that the £14m fund, will promote interventions to get parents working together, providing counselling, emotional support and mediation along with online and telephone advice.
