• The actors 'finalized the divorce' on Thursday evening at her house
• There was a private judge on hand to work out the final details 
• They split in June 2015 and she filed for divorce in April 2017
• Jennifer earlier this week 'asked a private judge to handle the divorce to speed it up'  
• They have three children together: Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have finalized their divorce.

The two met with a private judge on Thursday evening at her Pacific Palisades, California mansion where they finished up their paperwork, according to People.    

This comes soon after it was claimed the beauty, 46, pressed hard to have the divorce finalized as soon as possible now that the Batman v Superman star was sober after 40 days in rehab.

The Alias vet filed for divorce in April 2017 but they have been separated since June 2015. They had started dating in 2004 and wed in 2005. 

The Peppermint actress has three children with the Oscar-winning actor: Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six.

On Thursday TMZ reported the West Virginia native filed new documents to speed up the process with the hopes of having all the paperwork settled by the end of the year.

Garner had asked that the divorce be taken out of the court system, which had been moving slowly. And she wanted the case to be handled by a private judge, who could move it along faster. 

Sources told the site that for a while, Jennifer did not want to speed up the divorce because she did not want to deal with custody issues while Ben was still drinking.

The insider was not very specific about when Affleck was drinking, but it appears to have been on and off with the star for years.

He recently completed a 40-day stay at The Canyons in Malibu after Garner took him in for treatment.

And on Thursday Affleck shared a note to Instagram that he wanted to remain sober for his 'family.' 

'This week I completed a forty day stay at a treatment center for alcohol addiction and remain in outpatient care,' he wrote. Ben then thanked his family for their support as he battles his 'illness.' And the Live By Night star made it clear that he will always be in treatment and it's a 'full-time commitment.' 

Ben has already moved on romantically. He was dating Lindsay Shookus, a producer at SNL, for about one year. They split this summer.

He is now seeing Playboy model Shauna Sexton, 22, who is 24 years younger than him.

Garner does not appear to have dated anyone and seems to be focusing on parenting as well as her career: her last film was the action packed drama Peppermint.

She also spends time on charitable causes, like visiting children that have been at a disadvantage. This weekend she spent time with Save The Children.

Ben and Jennifer seem to be on good terms; on Sunday they were seen with their kids attending church services in Los Angeles.

On Friday, amid her personal drama, Jennifer Garner revealed that her ears aren't pierced. 

'You see these earrings? My ears aren't pierced. They're magnets from Claire's! What!' she said while fiddling with the diamond studs.

Garner shot the quick clip from the set of her Neutrogena ad shoot.
