Making Divorce Not an "End": Building Infrastructure to Support Women's New Beginnings in Society

We support "April Dream," a project to share dreams on April 1st. This press release is the dream of Rikonhot LINE Co., Ltd.

Divorce is not the end of life. However, the reality is— Choosing divorce is one of the biggest decisions in life. Especially for women, multiple challenges such as daily living, children, finances, and future planning overlap at the same time. Yet, in reality, many people are struggling alone, not knowing who to consult or where to start.

Legal issues, daily life, children, money, work—many problems are complexly intertwined in divorce, but a system that provides cross-cutting support for these issues is not yet sufficiently developed in Japan. As a result, there are many cases where people lose rights or options they should have been able to protect.

Our Origin: A Challenge Born from a "Sense of Discomfort" We felt a strong sense of discomfort with this reality. Originally, restarting life should be safer and more rational. That is why we launched "Rikonhot LINE," an integrated support service that ranges from providing information on divorce and marital issues to connecting users with lawyers and experts. Our role is not just to provide information, but to organize "what to do now" according to each individual's situation and specifically design the next step.

The Reality: The Initial Response Changes Your Life In divorce, the initial decisions and actions significantly impact your subsequent life. The timing of separation, how to leave evidence, securing living expenses, and consideration for children—each requires appropriate judgment. However, in practice, many cases involve making decisions without sufficient information, often because people "didn't know who to consult" or "didn't think it was time to consult yet." As a result, they may not realize options they could have chosen or fall into situations that are difficult to recover from later.
