The government thinks it’s found a way to streamline divorce, with an app. It’s not clear whether the app will be just web-based or for mobile too, but either way, it sounds insane.
The government said it will be putting a colossal £15 million into the Divorce app project. If that sounds a lot of tax payers money to be wasting on some crummy app, don’t worry — the government claim it will actually save money from being spent helping parents fight each other via the Child Support Agency. It thinks that divorcing couples will follow their iPhones instructions to play nice and sort out their differences without the courts.
I’m pretty sure this app idea is just a PR distraction from the government’s other recent announcements, because unless it’s some hypno-angry bird game that turns divorcing parents into mindless love-zombies, I don’t think it will help one bit. [The Telegraph]

From personal experience I know that divorcing couples can’t agree on anything. For £15 million I would be happy to write the Government an App* that would automatically respond “N0″, “Over my dead body” or “Burn in hell you Bastard/Bitch” to any request received from the ex partner.
*Android only obviously
I’ll even make it Jellybean compatible.
£15mil on a single app? Many magnitudes greater than I’ll earn in a lifetime for something I could make myself in a week…
Hey, I called dibs on it first, unless your talking about the iPhone version. I’ve even thought of a new feature. Once all the divorce details are settled the App can close down with the message “This device is now the property of your ex-partner, please forward it to them immediately.”
ahahaha, touché! I think my proposition, where the 5 coolest MPs get a beautiful diamond-encrusted iPhone for their personal use will probably get through parliamant easier.
