Jennifer had ‘nothing to argue’ on split with Ben
Joe and Cheryl, while reflecting on Jennifer’s split with Ben pointed out, “What most people don’t know is that you don’t need a lawyer to get a divorce in the United States. Certainly some people choose to involve them, but there are other non-attorney options as well. There may not be a lot to argue about, and therefore, Jennifer may not have felt the need for further legal representation. If there are any issues that do need to be resolved, they could do so with the help of a neutral third-party mediator.”
They further said, “Certainly, after the mediator helps them negotiate an agreement, they could each have their respective counsel review it. Perhaps Jennifer simply didn’t feel the need to involve attorneys. That’s her decision to make.”

 

Jennifer Lopez wanted to ‘get it done’ on her own
While speaking to PEOPLE, Marilyn Chinitz, matrimonial partner at Blank Rome LLP, while discussing Jennifer’s decision to file without counsel, what is known as pro se, “I think that she most likely just wanted to get this done, (that) there was a lot of hesitation and hemming and hawing back and forth, and it’s a statement, ‘I’m moving forward, I’m filing and I’m doing it on my own.’”
