Ben Affleck's support system is right in front of him ... literally. Apparently nothing sobers you up faster than hanging with your soon-to-be ex. Or maybe that's what put him into rehab in the first place!

Ben and Jennifer Garner[2] were out Wednesday in Santa Monica just 1 day after Ben announced he completed rehab[3].

As reported by TMZ, their divorce is still full steam ahead ... but they are serious co-parents who not only get along ... they still support each other... for the children...
