welcome to equal exes

Equal Exes are the leading divorce/separation coaching and settlement experts in New Zealand.

Going through a divorce can be a huge challenge.

An average amicable divorce costs upwards of $20,000, while a high-conflict divorce can cost anywhere from $50,000 to hundreds of thousands.

From the emotional toll it takes on everyone involved, to the financial pressures that it brings and the time it sucks up, divorce can be a nightmare. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Our aim is to help people, just like you, achieve positive custody settlements and better financial outcomes.

Our face-to-face and online resources and coaches emotionally empower and educate people who are navigating the separation and/or divorce process.

"Separating with dignity is possible. With the right support by your side."

meet the founder Bridgette Jackson

Bridgette is the Founder of Equal Exes. She launched the business in 2019, after going through her own high-conflict, five-year divorce.

Bridgette is a CDC Certified Divorce/Separation Coach, Settlement Strategist, a Collaborative Coach, a qualified lawyer, and has a post-graduate dispute resolution qualification.  

Bridgette is also a trained Divorce Mediator and has found that many clients (& ex-spouses) are willing to be amicable, collaborate, and undertake guided resolution and informal mediation around their custody and relationship property matters. This avoids the parties having to engage in legal battles that ultimately place more stress and expense on both parties.

Don't just take our word for it, find out more about what our clients are saying.
"Bridgette is able to openly and authentically lay on the table what is front of mind for me. To work it through without worrying that I'm overstepping friendship bounds, that it may change a friend's opinion of me, or get back to my ex-wife somehow. And, getting considered, insightful, intelligent advice and support from people who are experts in this area that is so foreign to me, is pure gold."

James

"What Bridgette has helped me achieve has literally been life-changing. I felt trapped, had tried to enact change in my relationship for coming up to 5 years, then I met Bridgette and from that point forward she kept me focused, strong and achieved a separation that will have a material difference in our lives. If it wasn’t for Bridgette we would all still be living a miserable existence under the same roof. Now we are all happy, confident, and settled."

Linda

"I spent a whole year trying to find people who could help. Finally, I was put in touch with Bridgette. You could say she was my last resort. In my first consultation, I told her about my situation. It was just good to hear that someone understands and can help; it’s not just me going through it. I was lost and didn’t know which way to turn next. From being stuck and not being able to do anything, she’s given me some hope that things are going to get sorted in the future."

Luke

"You cannot fathom the emotions you encounter as a divorce is such a rollercoaster. The tools and strategies Bridgette gave me help me navigate my journey from the start to the end of the process. She really took the burden off my shoulders."

Fran

"When I went and saw Bridgette, she completely understood me. I didn’t have to prove anything. Normally when I explain the situation I was in, people think it sounds crazy. But she’s been through it and has seen all walks of life go through divorces. By the time I reached Bridgette, I had already hit the end button – but she’s really the person you want to connect with when you think your marriage is going to implode, not after it already has. She wants to save people from going through what she and I both went through."

Mandy

"I reached out to Bridgette at the most stressful time in my life. I was not familiar with the NZ legal system. She helped me step by step through every aspect of the process. From finding the right lawyer, getting organised for divorce to managing my emotions. I am very grateful and fortunate that Bridgette was part of my journey. The amount of assistance and information she gave me was exceptional. She is very professional and always available when needed. I highly recommend Bridgette."
