Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner divorce created a lot of stir in the media. Now, after their high profile separation announcement, how will the couple divide their properties and assets?
They have amicable settlement and don't care much on how their conjugal properties will be divided. Sources revealed that the former couple doesn't have a prenuptial agreement. At the time of Affleck and Garner divorce, the couple is worth $115 million fortune. Affleck net worth is $75 million while Garner has $40 million net worth.
One thing that's different with the estrange couple breaking off their properties has never become an issue. For them, what matters most is how they can show their kids their love even they already split up. A California Family Code has also nothing to do on who will get spousal support.
"They don't want this to be War of the Roses," a source said to UsWeekly magazine via Independent. "They want it to be simple and this takes the drama out of it. It is important for them to keep this nice and efficient for the sake of their family."
At the height of Affleck and Garner divorce, L.A. celebrity divorce attorney Fahi Takesh Hallin stated to E! News that the division of the former couple's community property will not depend on how long they have been together. This means, the 8,800-square-foot home they purchased in 2005 and the $7 million, 50-acre Southern property in Savannah, Georgia, bought by Affleck in 2003 will still be divided between the former couple, PEOPLE reports.
Hallin added whatever they acquired in their ten years of marriage will still be divided 50/50. Affleck and Garner assets or savings in form of projects earned or saved including their residuals, money and royalties will be partitioned accordingly.
Meanwhile, despite Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner divorce, the couple still plan to live together for the sake of their kids. They will be soon renting Brooke Shields' Pacific Palisades home since their L.A. home has been renovated. The renovation is set to accommodate Affleck into a separate annex so that he can still live in the estate close to his children.
