Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Government has announced plans to release a "divorce app", which will advise unhappy couples with smartphones on how they ought to go about their separation. The scheme, which is set to cost £14m, will fund an application that can be easily downloaded to phones and computers, even in the midst of a blazing row.
Will the Coalition follow its own advice, when its marriage inevitably comes to an end?*
1. Try not to argue in front of your children/taxpayers. It's not dignified, and it unsettles the poor things.
2. If one of you is seeing somebody new, be open and honest about it. There's a chance your partner already suspects you of illicit trysts with a third party. Keeping secrets will only make things worse. (But don't tell the children/taxpayers until you're sure your new love is going to last. You risk confusing them.)
3. Were money issues to blame for the difficulties in your relationship? Perhaps you should seek outside financial advice.
4. Divide up your assets as fairly as you can. Who gets to keep the house? It might be easier if you both move out.
* This advice may or may not appear in the aforementioned divorce app.
