According to UsMagazine.com, new court documents state that the couple was warned by a judge in the L.A. Superior Court that if the two can’t settle their divorce case, a judge has the right to call it off. But, apparently Garner has been stalling the divorce. A source said, “Jen wanted to give Ben the time and opportunity to work on his health and sobriety. She isn’t in a rush.” The insider added that Garner wants Affleck to be “the best father he can be” to their three kids and “wants what’s best for the kids. But, it seems Affleck is ready to move on, as he’s been dating Saturday Night Live producer Lindsay Shookus. The source added, “Ben would have liked to have finished this and closed the books sooner.” But, “Jen just isn’t willing to settle the custody issues until she’s 100 percent certain that he’s clean.”
