Charlie Sheen’s Complicated Custody Dispute with Ex-Wife Denise Richards
Charlie Sheen’s Messy Custody Battle With Ex-Wife Denise Richards
Sheen married Denise Richards on June 15, 2002. Their daughter Sami Sheen was born on March 4, 2004, and Lola Sheen arrived on June 1, 2005—three months after Richards filed for divorce.
The couple briefly reconciled, but by early 2006, the separation was back on.
In filing for a temporary restraining order that April, Richards alleged that Sheen had pushed her and threatened to kill her.
Sheen denied the accusations; however, a judge ordered him to stay 300 feet away from her and their daughters—except during supervised visits—for the time being.
“Obviously, what has taken place is vile, is unconscionable, is without merit, is a transparent and immature smear campaign,” Sheen stated, according to ABC News. “[Richards is] claiming certain things. It’s baseless.”
They reached a custody arrangement that May, and a judge signed off on their divorce six months later. Although they are friendly now, they were in and out of court for years, and Richards was the target of several of Sheen’s infamous Twitter tirades.
