Things are not friendly between jennifer lopez and Ben Affleck … Lines of communication are closed, which makes finalizing a divorce settlement difficult.
Sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ … J Lo and Ben don’t talk to each other in person or on the phone, which is really slowing down their divorce.
Ben and Jen’s icy relationship is really the only thing keeping this thing from getting divorced quickly… We’re told they have a prenuptial agreement and the only asset they have to divide is their Beverly Hills mansion, which is on the market.
Our source says that instead of hiring an attorney, J Lo and Ben are letting everything flow through their respective business managers, and they’re trying to figure out the finances behind the divorce… but it’s complicated because the principals aren’t talking.

TMZ broke the story…the estranged couple’s Bev Hills estate is in the market $68 million and Ben just closed Jen is still looking for a home of her own in a $20.5 million mansion in Brentwood.
Ben closed escrow on the house the same day Jennifer is 55 years old…it’s just a coincidence, but we do know there’s no love lost between the two.

Ben and J Lo will eventually hire a divorce lawyer, and we’re told no documents will be filed until they reach a settlement. They will file legal documents requesting divorce, the judge will sign the document, and that’s it.
But until Ben and Jen start talking again, things will continue to move at a snail’s pace.
