Why Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s Divorce Has Reportedly Stalled

It’s been almost five months since Jennifer Lopez filed a request to end his marriage with Ben Affleckbut the former Hollywood power couple’s divorce proceedings have apparently hit a roadblock.

Despite efforts to amicably end their split, sources close to the matter say “nothing has been resolved” yet, and things are starting to get tense behind the scenes.

For this reason, Ben Affleck is staying away from Jennifer Lopez after spending Thanksgiving with his ex-wife. Jennifer Garnerand their children.

In August, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in Los Angeles Superior Court after months of speculation that their marriage had collapsed.

He made the presentation without a lawyer and indicated that the official date of separation was April 26.

The divorce seemed easy as Lopez rejected spousal support and asked the judge to deny it to the “Argo” actor.

However, sources have shared that months after she filed to go their separate ways, things are getting bad and tense as an agreement has yet to be reached.

“It’s been six months since she filed and nothing has been resolved, it doesn’t look like they’re anywhere close to finalizing the divorce,” a source said. In weekly contact. “They both said they wanted to do it amicably and have even talked a lot about consciously wanting to separate, but that plan seems to have gone out the window because they can’t agree on how to divide things, which of course affects things.”

The issue apparently arises from the former couple’s inability to divide their assets and property accordingly due to the fact that they did not sign a prenuptial agreement when they got married over 2 years ago.

It seems the situation has escalated into arguments and fights, and Affleck would rather stay away from the “Atlas” actress than commit to her.

A source said In contact that Lopez “is telling him that he should spend more time with her because the blended family situation is very new, and it’s vital that everyone gets off to a good start after the divorce, and just establish a pattern, and then he has Jen pushing him to spend time with her and her children together.

A previous source claimed that Lopez “thinks Ben should just give in to all of her demands” and that “it infuriates her that he’s trying to come out on top in this when he’s the one who left her high and dry.”

“She feels the least he can do is be a gentleman in their divorce,” the source shared. “But of course Ben doesn’t see it that way, he thinks he’s been more than fair, and J. Lo is the one who deliberately drags this out and nitpicks about the little details.”

“No wonder Ben doesn’t want to spend the holidays with her and pretend everything is fine,” they added.

According to the outlet, things could get worse if Lopez and Affleck can’t quickly find common ground in their divorce proceedings.

The singer is reportedly worth around $400 million, while the Oscar-winning actor’s net worth is around $150 million.

However, due to the absence of a prenup, things are more complicated, and insiders say Affleck can’t help but think Lopez is being “vindictive and greedy.”

“She’s worth more than twice as much as him, so it’s especially hard for him not to see this as vindictive and greedy,” they said. “They both say they are desperate to avoid any more drama, but the longer this goes on, the worse it will get.”

Amid their divorce battle, the couple managed to maintain cordial public contact and recently reunited to see their children in a school play in Los Angeles.

Lopez’s son, Emme, and Affleck’s son, Fin, acted together in the play. After they took their bows, the “Gone Girl” star could be seen waiting to congratulate the children.

According to the daily mailAffleck also warmly hugged Emme and kissed him on the head before saying goodbye.

A source told the outlet that Lopez “looked on adoringly” as she waited to give Emme a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The exes were also seen talking to each other and interacting with other attendees.
