Kanye West divorce lawyer makes shocking claims about JLo, Ben Affleck's split

Despite rumours that the couple didn't have a prenuptial agreement, the lawyer believes it's unlikely they didn't have one in place. 

The couple ended their relationship on their second anniversary, after attempting to make their relationship work for a second time.

With their relationship now over, experts weigh in on the future of the Atlas star and the Hypnotic star. 

A lawyer who worked on the rapper's divorce shares exclusive details on what's no longer accessible to the former couple.

Chris Melcher, a partner at Walzer Melcher & Yoda, has extensive experience handling high-profile breakups, including his previous work with West and Katie Holmes. 

Given his expertise in A-list divorces, Melcher is well-equipped to predict how Affleck and Lopez's split will unfold.

Talking to the Mirror from Los Angeles, he explained: "Ben and Jennifer have been through marriages and divorces before, so I find it hard to believe there is no prenup.

"While they each have considerable assets acquired before marriage – which would be off-limits in the divorce – let's not forget they bought a $60 million Beverly Hills compound. They may have ongoing streams of income from projects worked on during marriage, which could be community property without a premarital agreement."

Chris continued: "It was also important for Ben and Jennifer to protect the inheritance rights of the children each of them has from prior relationships. I sincerely doubt they married without a premarital agreement. Given their considerable independent wealth and no joint children, the divorce should be relatively easy to sort out."

In conclusion, Melcher revealed: "In my experience in dealing with high-profile couples, a settlement is reached before the divorce is announced. This tactic allows the parties to have more control over how the split is messaged to the public."
