The Community Justice Centre (CJC) has launched a new mobile application to aid co-parenting for divorced couple. The app, introduced on September 20, aims to reduce conflict and make divorce easier on children.
Sharing a preview of the Co-Parenting SG app, the CJC website stated: “Divorce can be one of the most stressful events of a person’s life with potential adverse impact on the children’s well-being, both in the short and long-term.
“However, research has shown that positive co-parenting can help to negate the effects of divorce on children.
“Premised on the key pillars of respectfulness, accountability, and transparency, Co-Parenting SG (CPSG) is designed as a practical, yet easily accessible tool, to support divorced or separated parents in their co-parenting journey. We believe that promoting positive co-parenting is beneficial to your child’s well-being.
“Released as a free-to-use web-application, you can easily access CPSG on any device with an internet connection anytime, anywhere,” it said.
As per reports, the CJC is targeting 500 users in the first year. The app allows calendar scheduling and keeping track of a child’s financial expenses with the option to attach receipts as proof.
The Co-Parenting SG app will also allow users to chat and share documents without revealing their phone numbers.
Singapore recorded 7,118 divorces or annulment in 2023, as per Department of Statistics data. The city-state had 7,107 such cases in 2022.
