J LO & Ben Divorce Gets Messier ... With Major Assets On the Line

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce is messy and VERY complicated ... TMZ has learned.
Here's the deal ... because the estranged couple has no prenup, everything they acquired over their roughly 2-year marriage is community property, which means the assets acquired during the marriage are divided equally. But, that's not as easy as it sounds ... not by a long shot.
One of the biggest assets in play is Ben's hugely successful production company, Artists Equity (AE), in which he's partnered with his best bud, Matt Damon. As a result, Damon could get dragged into the ugly divorce, since he's a major stakeholder in the company.
