Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s split could ‘get ugly’ due to lack of prenup ahead of their Las Vegas elopement

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are doing their best to amicably divide their assets, but the process hasn’t been easy.

As the stars negotiate the end of their two-year marriage with the help of celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser, a source told People that their ongoing divorce ‘has the potential to get ugly’ since they did not sign a prenuptial agreement.
The source noted that ‘there are some sticking points over financials’ between the superstar, 55, and two-time Oscar winner, 52, who eloped at The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas.

In her divorce filing, Lopez, who listed their separation date as April 26, 2024, wrote that their assets were ‘unknown.’

According to California state law, only the income and assets they earned during their short-lived marriage are ‘considered community property and subject to division.’
This includes the Beverly Hills mansion they purchased for $60.8 million last year and a number of the projects and endorsements they’ve done since tying the knot.

They are currently in mediation which is a less formal, faster alternative to a traditional divorce.

According to Wagner & Bloch’s website, ‘Divorce mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process where a third-party mediator guides a separating couple to resolve issues related to property distribution, child custody, alimony and other divorce matters.’

It has been claimed that Affleck is ‘happy’ as he is slowing moving into his new home in a neighborhood he loves amid his ongoing divorce proceedings from Jennifer.

A source told People that Ben is ‘doing well’ and ‘slowly moving into his new home’ after moving trucks were recently seen at the marital home he shares with Jennifer.
