Lopez Divorce Lawyer

The ‘Bennifer’ divorce lawsuit – anticipated so much in recent weeks – has occurred with Jennifer Lopez filing on August 20, 2024, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. But interestingly the divorce documents were not filed by a lawyer, and there was no attorney present when Lopez submitted the paperwork.

So who will represent Jennifer Lopez in the ‘Bennifer’ lawsuit?

Lopez is reportedly expected to be represented by well-known celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser in her divorce.

Laura Wasser is a well-known divorce lawyer at Wasser Cooperman & Mandels who previously mediated Ben Affleck’s divorce with Jennifer Garner and represented Jennifer Lopez in her divorce from Marc Anthony.  She has represented Britney Spears and has repped other A-listers including Kevin Costner, Angelina Jolie and Kim Kardashian. 

 Wasser would likely focus on negotiating a fair settlement, potentially leveraging her prior experience in similar cases to ensure an equitable distribution of community property acquired during the marriage.

The divorce action will doubtless secure high profile, tons of media and whoever her lawyer is, there will be the need for legal precedents and a sound knowledge of California’s community property laws to navigate the complexities of the case.

 Lopez has reportedly waived spousal support and requested that Affleck be denied support as well. Wasser, of whomever her lawyer might be, might strategize to uphold this request, ensuring that Lopez’s financial obligations are minimized.

Time – and her lawyer – will tell.


Australian Law – Jetstar Travel Credits Class Action From Echo Law

Echo Law has commenced a class action in the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of Jetstar customers who held tickets for domestic or international flights cancelled by Jetstar between 2020 and 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The class action is based on allegations that Jetstar failed to refund customers’ payments for those flights, despite being legally obliged to do so.

Instead, Jetstar issued the majority of its customers with travel credits (also called travel vouchers), which were subject to significant restrictions. Accordingly, those travel credits were of much lower value to customers than the refunds to which customers were entitled.

By acting in this way, Jetstar has enjoyed significant financial benefits at its customers’ expense.

We consider that affected Jetstar customers may be entitled to compensation, even if they have used the travel credits they were issued.

Allegations

The class action is based on allegations that:

  • Covid-19 travel restrictions ‘frustrated’ Jetstar travel contracts, causing these contracts to be automatically terminated and giving customers a right to automatically recover money paid under those contracts.

Under Australian law, an event is ‘frustrating’ if it occurs without default of either party and renders the performance of contractual obligations impossible or radically different from what was originally contemplated.

  • Jetstar’s failure to issue refunds was a breach of contract.
  • Jetstar engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct in contravention of Australian Consumer Law, by misleading customers as to their rights in the event of widespread COVID cancellations.
  • By holding customer’s funds that ought to be refunded, Jetstar attained unlawful financial benefit (including from the interest accrued).
  • Jetstar have engaged in a system or pattern of unconscionable conduct, in contravention of Australian Consumer Law.
