Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have finally completed the paperwork to finalize their divorce and the former is reportedly very happy about it. The couple agreed to co-parent their kids -- Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6 -- but Affleck will have monitored time with the children.
According to TMZ, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck will also have to attend monthly co-parenting therapy sessions for six months and this is part of the agreement. The divorce papers were submitted to the L.A. County Superior Court through their hired private judge.
The papers were said to have been brought to the court on Nov. 2 and once Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck signed them, their separation would be official and final. The publication also shared some parts of the ex-couple’s agreement and one line reads: “Neither party shall make derogatory or insulting remarks about the other in the presence of or within hearing distance of any of the minor children.”
“Each party is restrained from arguing, yelling, or using profanity directed at the other party in the presence or within hearing distance of any of the minor children,” the document continues.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s children mostly stay with their mother but they can also stay with their father. But, as mentioned before, they have to be accompanied by a monitor and this is probably because of the “Justice League” actor’s issues with sobriety.
On the other hand, Ben and Jen will have equal rights when it comes to making decisions regarding their children’s schooling and medical treatments. As for their properties, the details were not divulged but it can be recalled the former couple has no prenup arrangement.
Meanwhile, The Daily Mail reported that the “Peppermint” actress was all smiles when she emerged in public just three days after she and her ex-husband finalized the divorce. The 46-year-old was spotted with a friend and they appeared to have just finished a good workout. The paper noted that Jennifer Garner was extremely happy and more relaxed now that her divorce is over and she can finally move on from it.
