Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have officially filed for divorce.
The couple - who announced their split back in June 2015 - have filed court papers together and are both requesting joint legal and physical custody of their three children, Violet, 11, Seraphina, eight and Samuel, five.

There was no prenup so the duo are expected to share their fortune equally.
It is also thought the case will be handled by a mediator rather than in court and could take up to six months to be finalised, TMZ reports.
Since their split, Ben and Jennifer have remained close and actively co-parent their three children together.
