No pre-nup, sassy photos – what’s happening with JLo-Affleck’s divorce?

Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck without a lawyer which has sparked lots of speculation about the divorce’s potential complications.

According to a piece by TMZ, the couple lacks a prenup, which could make the separation messy. Divorce expert Holly Davis suggests that Lopez’s self-funded film about their romance and the subsequent public breakup might give her an advantage in negotiations. However, she notes that Ben’s public coolness towards Jennifer this summer could limit her gains.

Davis points out that Lopez’s choice to file without a lawyer may signal her desire for a smooth process, though she might be consulting a legal team behind the scenes. The lack of a prenup is surprising, and the division of assets could become contentious if the divorce drags on, she said.

Another source familiar with such celebrity divorces agrees, predicting Lopez will likely emerge with a better deal due to her financial contributions during the marriage.
