The acrimony is apparently over for the once-coupled Charlie Sheen and Denise
Richards.
There has been an amicable resolution in the couple's divorce case, lawyers
for Sheen and Richards announced Monday after meeting with a judge in chambers.
No judgment has been entered in the divorce.
Issues before the court were resolved during the meeting with Superior Court
Judge Marjorie Steinberg, said Lance Spiegel, a lawyer for Sheen, and Neal R.
Hersh, a lawyer for Richards.
The lawyers wouldn't elaborate on the issues resolved Monday. They also
refused to say whether a restraining order Richards obtained against Sheen in
April remained in effect.
Richards filed for divorce in March 2005, after three years of marriage.
A Sept. 12 hearing that had been scheduled for a child custody evaluation
will not be held and there are no future court dates, Hersh said.
The restraining order was issued after Richards claimed Sheen abused
prescription drugs, gambled compulsively and had been physically and verbally
abusive.
Sheen, who turns 41 on Sept. 3, denied what he called "false allegations."
The restraining order directed Sheen to stay at least 300 yards away from the
35-year-old actress and their daughters Sam, 2, and Lola, 1. He is allowed
one-day-a-week supervised visitation.
Sheen stars in the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men." His screen credits
include "Platoon" and the "Hot Shots!" movies.
Richards appeared in "Wild Things" and "Starship Troopers."
