The Hustlers star filed legal documents on Tuesday (August 20) in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, which have been seen by numerous news outlets, such as the BBC.
According to TMZ, they were not filed by a lawyer but by pro per, which means Lopez did it herself without an attorney.
Moreover, Lopez listed their date of separation as April 26, 2024, as per Variety.

The documents filed also reportedly don’t indicate whether or not there is a prenuptial agreement between the couple, the BBC reports.
This would mean that whatever earnings Affleck and Lopez made during their two years of marriage would be considered community property.
The documents also allegedly reveal that Lopez waived spousal support and is asking the judge to deny Affleck such support as well.
Affleck and Lopez were one of Hollywood’s biggest couples in the noughties, having met in 2002 on the set of 2003’s Gigli, in which they both starred.
They were quickly dubbed ‘Bennifer’ by the press and soon got engaged the same year, however, the wedding was called off in 2004 – and they eventually called it quits on their relationship.

In 2021, the pair rekindled their romance and eventually tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony on July 16, 2022.
They proceeded to have a traditional wedding ceremony in Savannah, Georgia on August 20, 2022.
Lopez also seems to have filed the divorce papers on the ceremony’s two-year anniversary, CNN reports.
The pair had been at the epicenter of divorce rumors for some time, though nothing was confirmed until now.
This marks Lopez’s fourth marriage – with her previous marriage being to singer Marc Anthony – and Affleck’s second.
His first marriage was to actor and Daredevil co-star Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children.
UNILAD has reached out to representatives of Lopez and Affleck for comment.
