It looks like things are about to turn pretty ugly on the financial front regarding the divorce battle between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.

The feuding exes have enlisted Hollywood power lawyer Laura Wasser to help them mediate the details of their divorce, but they still have loads of legal loose ends to tie up, sources told RadarOnline.com.
"Part of the reason Ben agreed to go to mediation was to try to get things settled as soon as possible," in particular, the sale of their former Beverly Hills home, said an insider.
But a deal to sell the property — which they'd listed for $68 million, $8 million more than they paid — fell through when the buyer pulled out at the last minute.
Said a source: "Until that's sold, they can't settle the divorce."
They're also still squabbling about how much she's going to have to pay him since they didn't have a prenup, added the insider.
Yet another dispute involves Affleck and pal Matt Damon's production company, Artists Equity.
Noted another source: "That's considered community property and Jennifer's going to want a piece of that."
Further delaying things are their conflicted feelings about each other.
Though the Oscar winner's friends said he's done with the Hustlers star, RadarOnline.com previously reported they were recently spotted holding hands and kissing at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge.
Said a source: "That has delayed countless meetings because it's hard to negotiate the terms of a split when they've just been all lovey-dovey the night before.
"The whole situation is a mess and people are predicting this could drag out for months, if not years."
