Leah Remini & Angelo Pagán Are Finalizing Their Divorce Without Lawyers

Leah Remini and Angelo Pagán are taking an unexpected route in their divorce by finalizing their split without the help of lawyers. 

This decision marks a significant shift in their proceedings, which had previously involved disputes, including Pagán's move to waive spousal support. 

As they embark on new journeys, Leah Remini and Angelo Pagán are setting the tone for a more amicable conclusion to their relationship.

The former lovebirds, who were married for over two decades, reached a settlement late last week, with only a final judge's signature needed to make it official. 

The swift conclusion of their divorce suggests that the process was amicable, highlighting their desire to part ways on good terms.

While the specifics of their asset division remain confidential, Remini and Pagán reportedly used the help of a mediator to finalize things. With their divorce process wrapping up, they are now poised to embrace a fresh start after being intertwined for nearly 30 years. 

Remini took a proactive approach to her divorce, initiating the proceedings just six weeks ago without legal counsel. According to TMZ, she designated August 1 as their official separation date, marking a swift end to her marriage. 

One factor that may have contributed to this rapid resolution is that, while they do have a daughter together who is now 20, child support will not complicate the divorce process. 

Additionally, prior to filing, Remini candidly discussed her decision, noting that both she and her ex-husband had acknowledged significant changes in their lives and recognized that they were no longer compatible. 

Instead of viewing the split as a failure, she has chosen to celebrate their years together as a noteworthy milestone.

While Remini and Pagán are making swift progress in their divorce, some complications surfaced along the way. Last month, The Blast reported that Pagán requested the court to deny any possibility of spousal support for Remini during their ongoing proceedings.

This motion came just a month after he filed his own petition without legal representation. The 56-year-old's request, filed on August 30, was a response to Remini's petition from the day prior. 

In her filing, the mother-of-one stated her desire for both parties to forgo any claims for spousal support, highlighting a shared commitment to a smooth separation. 

However, Pagán's assertion that the couple's community and separate property remains unresolved adds a layer of complexity to their otherwise amicable split.

In a touching joint statement on Instagram, the former couple revealed that their decision to divorce came "after a lot of thought and care." Despite their split's sadness, they noted their commitment to "approaching this with a positive outlook."

In their heartfelt message, Remini and Pagán shared that their friendship remains intact while they are parting ways. In their words:

"We've been best friends for so many years. We are still celebrating holidays together, watching our favorite TV shows together, and gathering as a family."

They candidly acknowledged the changes they experienced as individuals, noting that they had grown apart and that the roles they played no longer matched their reality. The doting parents expressed pride in the beautiful memories they created, especially while raising their daughter.

Ultimately, Remini and Pagán hoped their journey would inspire others, emphasizing, "We would love for everyone to have more access to different kinds of relationship stories and not feel so isolated in navigating the changes that millions of couples make every year."

As Remini navigates her divorce from Pagán, another relationship seems to be blooming again. The 54-year-old reportedly rekindled a friendship with none other than her former best friend, Jennifer Lopez. 

The pair had a rocky past after Remini expressed concern about Lopez's rekindled romance with Ben Affleck, stating that he was "selfish and is not fully committed as a partner."

This candid opinion led Lopez to cut ties with Remini, leaving her absent from the "Jenny From The Block" singer's wedding festivities. However, it seems that time and shared challenges allowed the two actresses to mend their friendship.

The Blast reported that an insider revealed that they engaged in a meaningful conversation, realizing they both faced similar struggles. "Leah and J.Lo bonded over the shared experience. And are in the beginning of rekindling their friendship," the source shared.
