Default automatically extract footnotes into new file and apply character format to footnote

I need to import .docs (or possibly .docx) into InDesign. Footnotes need to be a seperate file, footnote numbers in main text need to have a specific character style applied to them. I can't ask the authors to sett up two seperate files, they will deliver standard texts with the app's footnotes function used. What I'm looking for is a way to automatically split this standard file into two, one containing the main text, ideally with all the footnote numbers getting a specifyable character style applied to them (but if that's not possible, it would suffice to have them remain where they were and apply this c.s. manually), the other containing the footnotes, equally with the numbers kept and ideally with a second c.s. applied to them.

If there would be any way, and array of scripts or whatever to achieve this? That would be of great great help. Thanks a lot in advance.
