Splashed across the news after much speculation, it was finally revealed that Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce against Ben Affleck without an attorney on the couple's second anniversary. It also has been revealed that the couple did not have a prenup. It should be interesting to see whether this is resolved amicably outside the court systems by a settlement, which may be likely, especially since it was also announced that Ms. Lopez is not seeking spousal support.
As we have tried to educate you, the public, there is definitely a better way than a litigated divorce...Mediation and Collaborative Divorce, and of course the importance of a prenup. A prenup is vital and can help avoid many financial issues in a divorce. Without one, things could get ugly. If a couple is willing to work within the voluntary process of mediation and collaboration, much more can be accomplished in a holistic, non-toxic, private and confidential way.
