Another twist in the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce … she wants to drop his last name … in favor of her maiden name.
TMZ obtained the divorce docs Jen filed Tuesday, and she checked the box to have her name restored to Jennifer Lynn Lopez.

J Lo took Ben’s last name as her own when they tied the knot back in July 2022 … but now that she’s filed to officially pull the plug on the marriage, it seems she’s over being an Affleck.
Jen filed her divorce docs as Jennifer Lynn Affleck — her legal name — but she’s requesting a change here.
TMZ broke the story … J Lo beelined it to L.A. Country Superior Court and filed divorce docs pro per, meaning by herself and without an attorney … on what would have been their 2-year wedding anniversary.
Jen’s divorce filing makes no mention of a prenup … and our sources tell us there is NO prenuptial agreement, which is a bit of a shocker with these two.
As we’ve told you, Jen and Ben have been trying to hash out a settlement for months, and while our sources say those talks are continuing, we’re told they have become increasingly acrimonious … to the point where Jen and Ben at times were not even speaking to each other.
Jen looking to shed the Affleck name seems to underscore the bitter feelings between them.
