The divorce proceedings between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seem to be at a standstill, with the ex-couple currently not communicating with each other.
Affleck and JLO have called it quits once again, two decades after their first split, and their refusal to engage in conversation is causing challenges in reaching a settlement agreement, as reported by TMZ.
Although there is reportedly a prenuptial agreement in place, the issue of their $68 million Beverly Hills property remains unresolved. Affleck has already secured a new $20.5 million residence in Brentwood, while JLO is in the process of finding her own new home.
Once decisions are made regarding the division of the Beverly Hills estate, a swift divorce is anticipated. No legal representatives have been enlisted so far, with the ex-couple’s respective financial advisors managing the financial aspects of their separation.
However, progress is hindered because Affleck and Lopez are not engaging in discussions with each other.
Plans entail the engagement of lawyers post-settlement solely to handle formalities, facilitating a quick resolution without prolonged legal battles.
Nevertheless, effective communication is vital for the ex-partners to advance towards finalizing an essential settlement agreement.
Insights on the Divorce and Speculations
While the former pair is yet to issue an official statement confirming their divorce, rumors of their split intensified with reports of JLO and Affleck residing separately.
According to a source cited by the Daily Mail, “They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them.” The source mentioned that a joint statement expressing their enduring love and efforts to salvage the relationship is anticipated upon the formal announcement of their separation.
