On Aug. 20, Lopez, 55, filed to end her marriage to Affleck, 52, after less than two years as husband and wife. In the filing, obtained by PEOPLE, Lopez listed their date of separation as April 26, and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
Lopez’s filed without using a lawyer, an act known as pro se, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. She requested no spousal support for either party, and sections about community and separate property indicate that the exes didn’t tie the knot with a prenuptial agreement in place.
“The exact nature and extent of separate property assets and obligations are unknown to Petitioner at this time. Petitioner reserves the right to amend this Petition when same is ascertained,” reads the filing.
In another portion, it’s noted that the “exact nature” of their community and quasi-community assets and obligations are “unknown” and “will be determined.” The papers also indicate they’ll split attorney’s fees, and that Lopez wants her last name restored.
Here’s what could be at stake for the former couple, who wed in July 2022, as they divorce reportedly without a prenup.
In May 2023, Lopez and Affleck purchased their 38,000-square-foot estate in Beverly Hills for $60,805,000. The home was listed for $68 million in July.
Matrimonial partner at Blank Rome LLP Marilyn Chinitz, who isn’t connected to the case, says their shared assets will ultimately be split. “They’ve been together for two years, and whatever they have earned during those two years is community [property], which means that it will be equally divided if they earned anything.”
