Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have been living separate lives for years now. In 2015, the couple announced they would be separating and, in 2017, Garner and Affleck filed a joint petition for divorce. However, since that time, neither has done anything to move forward.

That said, if the pair doesn’t act fast their marriage may last a little bit longer. According to a document obtained by The Blast, the LA County Superior Court has advised Affleck and Garner to enter a final judgement or face delays with their divorce.
“If you fail to take the appropriate steps in your case, the court may dismiss your case for delay in prosecution,” the document states.
Affleck and Garner tied the knot in 2005 and were married 10 years before parting ways, through Affleck did not move out of the family home until May 2017.
