For years, divorce mediation clients have been asking for an alimony calculator and now, for the first time ever, one is available. With the popularity of Apple products such as the iPhone and iPad, it doesn't surprise me that the first alimony calculator in Massachusetts is in the form of an app.

The app, called the Massachusetts Divorce App, is available online at the Apple Store here, currently for just $0.99. That is an amazing price given the amount of time it can save people from having to discuss child support and alimony with a divorce professional, like a mediator.

It was designed by divorce lawyers for use by other divorce lawyers, mediators, judges and those representing themselves in court.

What exactly does the app calculate?

This easy to use and robust app includes "dropbox integration, PDF generation of court approved forms, and air print capabilities". That way, after using it you can simply send all your documents to a printer and you will have court ready forms for your divorce in Massachusetts.

MWI divorce mediators will each have the alimony app with them during mediation sessions. The benefit to clients will be saving both time and money. The app saves time in calculating the amount of support and can easily be sent to an MWI printer. The app saves clients from the added aggravation of using a calculator or hand writing the form.

MWI is always looking for new ways to help ease the divorce process for its clients. This app helps to do just that.
