Garner and Affleck's children are all teens, and Lopez acknowledges that they are at a point in life when they have a lot of feelings that should be handled with care.

The actress also hopes that Affleck will be someone that her kids know loves and cares for them and can make decisions on her behalf when she is too emotionally tied up to see things right.
