Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have filed for divorce nearly two years after the couple originally announced their split, PEOPLE confirms. 
 
 Garner and Affleck filed the docs together and they are both seeking joint legal and physical custody of their three kids. The date of separation, as well as the division of property and any spousal support, is still to be determined. 
 
 The divorce filing was originally reported by TMZ. 
 
 The former couple filed mirror-image paperwork and they each filed “in propria persona” — which means without an on-the-record attorney. Both Affleck and Garner noted that they will keep any earnings they made since they separated, so the separation date they determine could affect the settlement. They announced their split on June 30, 2015. 
 
 A source tells PEOPLE the filing is “super amicable.” 
 
 A separate source adds, “They always planned to divorce despite what people said. If you look at their first statement it says divorce not separate. They just did it the way they wanted to and did what was best for their kids. There was no catalyst, it was just time. Nothing has changed, they are and still will be putting their kids first.” 
 
 Affleck and Garner have been in mediation and are working with leading L.A. divorce attorney Laura Wasser, according to another source. Wasser has handled divorce cases of several A-listers including Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and Kim Kardashian. 
 
 Affleck and Garner broke off their 10-year marriage in June of 2015, telling PEOPLE in a joint statement, “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.” 
 
 Over the following months, Garner and Affleck, both 44, sometimes sparked reconciliation rumors as they continued to live together, vacation together and co-parent their kids — Violet, 11, Seraphina, 8, and Samuel, almost 5 — while also stepping out for solo outings. 
 
 The friendly exes have been spotted out frequently during the last few months, including a sighting on Election Day in L.A. where they were both seen wearing “I Voted” stickers after casting their ballots. The actors also spent the holidays together with their kids in Montana, with a source telling PEOPLE they “seemed to have a great time.”

 Affleck called Garner the “world’s greatest mom” at a TimesTalk in New York in mid-December while saying that the births of their children were the most defining moments of his life. “It’s a joy to hang out with them,” he added. “I think the meaning of life is to make good people.” 
 
 “They are co-parenting the best they can,” a source who knows both of them told PEOPLE. “Whatever incarnation of a relationship this is works for them.” 
 
 After completing rehab for alcohol addiction earlier this month, Affleck has been enjoying spending time with the kids. In fact, the morning after he announced he had completed rehab, things were business as usual as he was spotted taking his kids to school with Garner. A source told PEOPLE that the actor is relishing time with his children. 
 
 “Ben is spending special time with all the kids separately,” the source said. “He seems very happy. The mood in general seems very upbeat. The kids are thrilled that he is back.”

 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 Jennifer Garner has just filed for divorce from Ben Affleck﻿, TMZ has learned, and it could not be more amicable. 
 
 Both Jen and Ben filed pro per -- without a lawyer. Her petition and his response mirror each other completely. The petition and response were filed together, which means it was coordinated. 
 
 They both want joint legal and physical custody of their 3 kids. As for spousal support, they left it open, so the judge could award it before the divorce becomes final. 
 
 They do not list a date of separation, but in June 2015 they announced their separation. 
 
 We've learned there is no prenup, which means all of their earnings during their marriage will be split 50/50, unless they agree otherwise. Ben made a lot more than Jen during the marriage. 
 
 There are strong signals the case will not be handled in court, but rather by a mediator, especially by the way the docs were filed. This is the M.O. for disso queen Laura Wasser, who has guided various celebrity couples through mediation and then has them file for divorce pro per. 
 
 We're told Ben and Jen are still negotiating a financial settlement. The divorce could become final in 6 months.
– They've been in no great hurry to get there, but Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are now officially on the road to Splitsville. TMZ reports that in what appears to be a completely amicable split, Affleck and Garner, both 44, filed a coordinated petition and response, with both agreeing to joint legal and physical custody of their three children—Violet, 11; Seraphina, 8; and Samuel, 5. They announced in June 2015 that they were separating, though there were rumors of reconciliation as recently as last month. The divorce could be final within six months for Affleck and Garner, who have been married for 12 years. "They just did it the way they wanted to and did what was best for their kids," a source who describes the divorce as "super amicable" tells People. TMZ notes there was no prenup, which could benefit Garner, who made less over their time together; the site reports the financial aspect of the divorce has yet to be settled. People adds they did agree to retain their own earnings made since the date of separation, though one wasn't listed in the filing. (Last month, Ben praised Jen for her support while he completed a stint in rehab.
