Almost five months have passed since then Jennifer Lopez submitted a request to end the marriage with Ben Affleckbut the former Hollywood couple's divorce proceedings seem to have hit a roadblock.

Despite efforts to amicably finalize their separation, sources close to the matter claim that "nothing has been settled" yet, and things are starting to sour behind the scenes.

For this reason, Ben Affleck is reportedly staying away from Jennifer Lopez after spending Thanksgiving with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garnerand their children.

Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in Los Angeles Superior Court in August after months of speculation that their marriage had hit the rocks.

She filed without an attorney and listed their official divorce date as April 26.

It looked like the divorce would be easy as Lopez refused spousal support and asked a judge to deny it to the "Argo" actor.

However, sources shared that months after she filed to go her own way, things are getting messy and tense, as no deal has yet been reached.

"It's been six months since she filed and nothing has been settled, it doesn't look like they're anywhere close to finalizing the divorce," the insider said InTouch Weekly. "They both said they wanted to do it amicably and even talked a good game about wanting a conscious breakup, but that plan seems to have backfired as they can't agree on how to split things, which of course affects things."

The problem appears to stem from the former couple's inability to divide their property and assets accordingly due to the fact that they did not sign a prenuptial agreement when they married over 2 years ago.

The situation seems to have escalated into arguments and fights, and Affleck would rather keep his distance from the "Atlas" actress than engage her.

the source said InTouch that Lopez "tells him that he should spend more time with her because the blended family situation is so new, and it's vital that everyone get off to a good start after the divorce, and just establish a pattern, and then he has Jen pushing him to spend time with her and their children together."

A previous source claimed that Lopez "thinks Ben should just give in to all her demands" and is "furious that he's trying to come out on top when he's the one who left her high and dry."

"She feels like the least he could do is be a gentleman in their divorce," the insider said. "But of course Ben doesn't see it that way, he thinks he's been more than fair, and J. Lo is the one who's purposefully dragging it out and picking on little details."

"No wonder Ben doesn't want to spend the holidays with her and pretends everything is terrible," they added.

According to the newspaper, things could get worse if Lopez and Affleck can't quickly find common ground in the divorce proceedings.

The singer is reportedly worth around $400 million, while the Oscar-winning actor's net worth is around $150 million.

However, the lack of a prenuptial agreement makes things more complicated, and insiders say Affleck can't help but think Lopez is "vindictive and greedy."

"She's worth more than twice as much as he is, so it's especially hard for him not to see that as vindictive and greedy," they said. "They both say they're desperate to avoid any more drama, but the longer this drags on, the worse it's going to get."

Amidst their divorce battle, the couple have managed to maintain cordial public contact and recently reunited to watch their children perform at a school play in LA.

Lopez's son, Emme, and Affleck's son, Finn, performed together in the play. After they bowed, the "Gone Girl" star could be seen waiting to congratulate the children.

According to Daily MailAffleck also gave Emme a big hug and a kiss on the head before saying goodbye.

A source told the outlet that Lopez "watched adoringly" as she waited for Emme to present her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The exes were also seen talking to each other and interacting with other attendees.
