Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck divorce filing shows power play, but expert warns 'gloves might come off'
Fox News
Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Ben Affleck, Aug. 20. Experts believe their split may reflect they had already squared away their relationship.
"Jennifer filed first, which shows that she is taking the lead in getting this done." "They are moving slowly and deliberately, and the slow pace seems to indicate extreme caution and sensitivity on both Ben and Jen’s part." "We've got to give them credit. They're both hugely successful. They've both made a lot of money. They both have children from prior marriages who they want to protect."

Lopez's decision to file without an attorney could send immediate red flags, but celebrity divorce attorney Christopher Melcher, partner at Walzer Melcher & Yoda LLP, noted Lopez "is not doing a thing without legal counsel."
