For when you don't know where to start with family matters.
Once you've set out your situation, what to consider next, the support you may be able to use, who to talk to, and the outlook for daily life all come together in one place.
Free, and you can use it anonymously
This is not a service where AI decides anything about divorce.
You can search, but you still can't tell what applies to you.
- What happens to my children's daily life?
- Will there be enough money?
- What has to be done, and by when?
- Who should I talk to?
Family Compass starts from where you stand, not from the name of a programme.
Three steps
- 1
Set out where you stand
Just answer the 5–8 questions of the quick check. You do not have to have decided anything.
- 2
See what comes next
"Where do I stand?" and "What do I do, and when?" lay out what to consider and by when.
- 3
Get a view of daily life
"Will the money last?" and "What support can I get?" show the support you may qualify for and your balance.
What it does
Where do I stand?
From your answers, we show your stage and what to think about now.
What do I do, and when?
Lists what to do today, this week, and after that, in order.
Will the money last?
Compares your monthly balance after divorce under three conditions.
What support can I get?
Gathers the programs you may qualify for and the desks you can call.
What you've set out can be gathered into a consultation summary and, with your consent, shared with the people you're consulting. That saves explaining the same thing at every office.
Compare how daily life could change under different conditions.

We don't leave the judgement to AI.
- Eligibility and amounts are worked out entirely by a rule engine.
- Anything requiring a legal judgement is passed to a professional.
- AI is limited to organising information and explaining it clearly.
Turning official information into something you can act on.
- Official national and local government information
- Tokyo Metropolitan open data
- Childcare support programme registry
- Information published on official municipal websites
Every programme is shown with its source, the date it was checked, and the period it applies to. Blogs and SEO articles are never used as grounds for a decision.
You don't have to say what you don't want to say.
- You can use it anonymously. Create an account only when you want to save something.
- You can delete your saved data yourself at any time.
- Each time you share with a professional or a local office, you set the scope and the expiry.
- Where there's a safety concern, securing safety comes before the usual guidance.
