Jennifer Lopez Files for Divorce from Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage, marking a surprising yet straightforward legal process as she opted to represent herself without an attorney. The divorce filing on August 20 coincides with their second wedding anniversary and reveals that the couple reportedly did not sign a prenuptial agreement, complicating the division of their assets. Lopez's decision to file pro se indicates her desire for a swift conclusion to the marriage, potentially suggesting they are using mediation for asset distribution. Legal experts note that the absence of a prenup is uncommon for celebrities, emphasizing that their assets will likely be treated as community property. Lopez has requested to waive spousal support for both herself and Affleck, with no settlement in place at the moment. The couple's financial situation, with Lopez's net worth estimated at $400 million and Affleck's at $150 million, raises questions about how their assets will be divided amid the divorce proceedings.
