Split the house and joint earnings 50/50 and leave. They will both have lawyers doing most of the heavy lifting. Given they are both multi millionaires, it can’t be that hard.

They didn’t sign a prenup and they bought a 68 million dollar home all in cash. No mortgage. California is a community property state which means any income earned during the marriage is considered to be a part of a couple’s shared assets.

Ben started a production company Artists Equity with Matt Damon four months after marrying Jennifer and Jennifer is one of the key investors as well. During the time of their marriage, Artists Equity produced Ben’s movies Air, Unstoppable, The Instigators, and The Accountant 2. Lopez could ask for her entitled share of profits from those films, just like Affleck could do the same for Atlas, This Is Me… Now, The Mother, Shotgun Wedding, and Marry Me.

It's only simple if they both agree to 50/50 on the joint earnings. If the divorce is drawn out, you know it means they're disagreeing over how much each wants.

Garner will always be the top woman in his life because of the three kids they share and J Lo couldn’t swallow that bitter pill.

At least until Sam, the youngest turns 18, Ben and Garner will be tied at the hip together.

Do I think they’ll get back together? No because Ben can’t help himself with cheating and will want younger women but Garner will always be his sober coach and the one to get him in line along with his datirhers

The only one of these where he actually looks happy is the SNL one. That one is actually pretty sweet. I think he and JG did have some happy years and I’m sure he has days where he’s mad at himself for screwing that up.

In 2021, Affleck received backlash for comments during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show. While discussing his alcohol abuse, Affleck appeared to inadvertently diss his ex.

“Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped,” the actor told Stern. “I was like, ‘I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?’ And what I did was [I] drank a bottle of scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution.”

Affleck later set the record straight and continued to praise his ex. “I had gone on and said how much we respect each other and cared about each other, and cared about our kids and put them first and went through our stuff,” he clarified to Jimmy Kimmel, adding that the following stories made him out to be “the exact opposite of who I am.”

“I would never want my kids to think I would ever say a bad word about their mom,” Affleck continued. “Because I never had, I never would.”

Never a bad word? He said he felt trapped in the marriage because he had kids.

It seems to me he still thinks like an addict. Blaming others. “You made me drink”. “This circumstance made me drink”.

This is classic alcoholic behavior

I was reading that someone close to him called him a dry drunk, which is so true. He may not have a relapsed but it sounds like he hasn’t addressed any of the issues that lead him to drink etc.

This. Alcoholism and addiction run in my family. It's a whole dysfunctional mindset and set of behavioral patterns that are present whether or not you're drinking.

I truly wish Ben, JLO, Jen Garner, and all their kids the best. This is a very hard path in life for everyone involved.

That wasn’t anything bad about Jen. That was his feelings about his own position of being in the marriage. Wanting out of a marriage because it isn’t working and feeling conflicted about that doesn’t mean the same as talking badly about someone. He is allowed to have feelings about his own life.

She must be heartbroken and furious that he jumped right into another woman's bed. It's almost as if she hadn't met him!

Of course. And you share those feelings in therapy, and with your closest friends. It is incredibly disrespectful to the mother of your children to share that with Howard Stern.

+1 goes for anyone who blabs about his/her family on television, Instagram, etc. Immature and pathetic.
