The highly discussed and publicized divorce between television star Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller has finally reached a point of agreement over terms of child custody. They have two two-year-old twin boys, and their custody is based on a highly customized and rigidly structured plan.
Both Sheen and Mueller have dealt with alcohol and drug dependencies, and these concerns were major factors in the settlement. Concerns about drug use led to the inclusion of several important clauses in the custody agreement. The terms are strictly based on the stipulation that both Mueller and Sheen must remain free of drug and alcohol use; otherwise, the agreement will be subject to change.
During the first two months of the agreement, Sheen will have the boys every other weekend for the period of Saturday morning through the evening of Sunday. If the rules are followed by both parents, the next two-month period will see increased parenting time for Sheen. He will have Saturday morning to Monday morning every other weekend. If the terms are not violated, Sheen will then get the boys from Wednesday morning until Thursday morning, in addition to the weekend period. Mueller will have the twins during the times that Sheen does not.
Both parents will be randomly tested for drug and alcohol use as required by the agreement. Additionally, both Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller must always have a nanny present for the duration of their times with the children. Also stated in the terms is a condition that neither parent is permitted to be photographed with a romantic partner in the presence of the boys.
Sheen’s notorious “goddesses” are also included in the child custody agreement. Sheen’s romantic partners are prohibited from showing affection to the boys in public by the terms of the agreement.
