Ben Affleck is Moving out of his home,... still on his divorce with Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck is getting a place of his own.

The actor is moving into a new house in Los Angeles in the middle of his divorce from Jennifer Garner.

"They want to be sure the kids are comfortable," a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. 

"He's moving fairly close by and it's all in step with what they've always said was the most important thing: their children."

Though the former couple announced their separation in June 2015, Affleck continued to live in the guest house at the family's L.A. home - even after they officially filed for divorce on April 13.
