TORONTO, Oct. 12, 2021 /CNW/ - LEAP Group Holdings Inc. (LEAP) and DivorceMate Software Inc. (DivorceMate) are delighted to announce LEAP's acquisition of Canadian software companies; DivorceMate Software Inc. along with MySupportCalculator Ltd.

DivorceMate is the premier supplier of family law software in Canada and is used by thousands of law firms and members of the judiciary to solve the difficult questions around support and asset splits in family separations.

Richard Hugo-Hamman, Executive Chairman of LEAP said on the closing of this transaction: "DivorceMate is a great acquisition for us. There is a terrific cultural fit. Both LEAP and DivorceMate have focused on developing software solutions that help lawyers who help people to be profitable. Both companies have done this for more than 30 years and I am confident that the merger of our powerful solutions will provide a huge benefit to law firms in Canada."

"I waited a very long time for the right company to acquire and care for DivorceMate and our employees," said Mark Harris. "I believe that LEAP, under Richard's leadership, will take DivorceMate to the next level of innovative products and services focused on Canadian family law professionals, the Judiciary and the Public's Access to Justice."

LEAP will continue to invest heavily in Research and Development and one of the first steps to be taken will be to develop the integration between LEAP, DivorceMate and MySupportCalculator to eliminate duplication of effort and boost productivity.
