In England they have decided to start a guide for people, going through a divorce, as to how to deal with their divorce amicably. The government is giving over R150 million towards groups to create many support services for parents who are separating and the advice will include tips on how to avoid arguing in front of children, how to sort out child support payments and how to cope with meeting your ex’s new boyfriend or girlfriend. Help will also include specific help for wives dumped for younger women, advice on how to deal with stepchildren and all of the reforms are basically aimed at making it best for children.

I think it is a good idea that England has dicided cause I think going through divorce is a dificult situation that needs support and or professional support

I am sure it will be a good idea to help those ones who can't cope with the divorce but how many people will go through the process because of anger.

I'm divorced, have two kids, no problems. Me and the ex are still friends. We even had a braai with the kids a few weeks ago. We have dealt with it beautifully for which I am truly grateful. No one is bad-mouthing the other and the kids aren't affected negatively. Still a happy family. Even today when relationships don't work out - I would rather walk out with nothing than go through the Mr and Mrs Smith issues

Maybe for the children it’s a good idea, but with a manual or not, it still depends on you, how you are going to handle a divorce

Everyone goes through things differently. I think that the parents should just learn to be less selfish and think about the child that is involved. What a waste of money especially now a days with all the debts that countries are going through.

I really like this idea because some people really do not know how to begin moving forward when they leave or loose their partners. which can be straining on a family. I think this is a great idea with the high divorce rate and the way our society is today - hardly any relationship lasts

For most couples, divorce is a painful business – and the agony starts long before the proceedings are even instigated. I think this guide may help both to deal with the divorce in a more rational and civilised way. Definitely a great idea!

Us women are lucky we live in a normal society and have equal human rights and can walk away from some idiot who we once loved .If a woman wants a divorce in Afganistan that means she will be either executed or will have her ears and nose cut off like happened to many Afgan 16-18 yo girls who tried to escape arranged marriages. there will be no counselling , they will just stone you to death and tell your children you were a rubbish who did not deserve to live . There , if a car hits a woman the guilty person gets a small fine, ,if a car hits a man the guilty person goes to prison .

I don't think its going to be easy for wives dumped for younger woman, but again it seems like a good idea for both parents and children.

Wow this is awesome, but do they also have counselling for the poor children? I have had this debate before and I have made it very clear my child will only ever know of ONE mother and ONE father, no step this and step that. I don't believe in that kind of nonsens. But good thing they trying. If my husband left me for someone younger then good for him but he sure can't think that I will ever allow her near my children, she would be considered a child to me too ha ha ha ha.

Great to see the resource is available. If people use it or not is their choice. If was married and my husband left me for a younger women I wouldn"t therapy all I would need is a shovel :)

My parents had a fine divorce without any counselling but some people are just not grown up enough to deal with certain things so I think this is a good idea.

This is really interesting. But again if people doesn't want help you can make them. I agree with Kaylene if the anger is too much they might not even go. Some people can really be stuborn and doesn't realize they need help until it is too late.

Wow it seems like an interesting idea, but if people's anger is too much they wouldnt still want to go through this. Once they have cooled down then maybe they would be open to try it.

I think that is a great idea! Not sure how many people will take the time to go through it but it certainly will help alot of people get through divorces!
