SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): More people are seeking support after going through a divorce, say social workers, who note that co-parenting is one of the main issues that arise from marital splits.

In 2023, there were 6,000 people, either divorced or going through a divorce, who received support at 10 specialised family service centres and a divorce support specialist agency in Singapore, said the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) in response to queries.
