Magnetized objects surrounded by a turbulent and keplerian accretion disk are considered. In such systems, magnetic field lines are embedded into the disk. The magnetic field of the central object is assumed to be dipolar in the absence of the accretion disk. In the presence of a turbulent accretion disk, it is shown that the interaction with the disk stretches magnetic field lines along the disk and that most of the non-magnetospheric magnetic flux is expelled outside the disk.
