Parental Conflict

A new app called ‘Separating Better’ has been launched for parents who have recently separated. It is completely free with no in-app payments and is available to download on Android and IOS.

Key features include:

• An emotional readiness assessment to determine a parent’s readiness for the separation process.
• A personalised parenting plan with co-parenting agreement options to help shape the practicalities in a parent’s life post-separation.
• A budget planner to help parents gain control of their finances as a new co-parent and to plan ahead for any shared or split expenses for the children.
• Work it outscenario videos to help identify any poor communication skills or disagreements between co-parents and demonstrate how to improve upon them.
• Expert advice and guidance articles on a wide range of separation topics, from communication and living arrangements to finances and practical legal advice.

Separating Better is designed to offer self-guided support for parents who are considering separation or are in the early stages of separation. This early intervention app offers emotional support and practical guidance. Separating Better is an early intervention support tool and progress tracker and therefore is NOT designed to offer support and guidance to parents who are involved in entrenched, high-conflict separation or dealing with post-separation issues such as parental alienation, interpersonal violence, or domestic abuse.
