The divorce proceedings between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are currently stalled, with the former couple no longer communicating. According to TMZ, the lack of dialogue is significantly hampering progress in their separation process.
Affleck and Lopez, who have rekindled and ended their relationship twice in the past 20 years, are now struggling to agree on the terms of their divorce. Despite having a prenuptial agreement in place, a major point of contention is their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion. While Affleck has already purchased a new $20.5 million home in Brentwood, Lopez is still in the market for her next residence.
The standoff in communication between the two is causing delays. They are currently without legal representation; instead, their business managers are handling the financial aspects of the split. This arrangement is proving inefficient, primarily due to the ongoing lack of interaction between Affleck and Lopez.
Once they resolve the division of the Beverly Hills property, they anticipate a swift divorce process. The plan is to hire lawyers only after reaching a settlement to handle the formalities and ensure that a judge can finalize the paperwork without further complications.
At present, the couple’s inability to engage with one another is obstructing their progress. A resolution to the settlement is crucial before they can move forward with the legal formalities.
Though neither Affleck nor Lopez has officially confirmed their divorce, the situation appears increasingly certain given that they are already living separately. A source informed the Daily Mail that although the divorce papers were finalized about a month ago, the couple is waiting for an appropriate moment to publicly announce their split. When they do, a joint statement is expected to highlight their mutual respect and efforts to make the relationship work, despite the outcome.
