Sheen and Richards Reach Amicable Agreement

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards amicably settled all the remaining issues in their pending divorce proceeding yesterday. The couple issued a joint statement through their lawyers, stating their intention to move forwards in a positive way, after a bitter public divorce battle. Sheen's attorney Lance Spiegel, with Richard's lawyer Neal Hersh at his side, made a statement outside a Los Angeles courthouse. He said, "Both parties have amicably resolved any outstanding issues on an interim basis."

The divorce has not been finalized and the couple was were not present at the brief hearing, which took place in a judge's rooms. A protection order against Sheen, which stated he was required to stay away from Richards and their daughters - Sam, two and Lola, one - except for supervised visits with the children, expired yesterday. Attorneys for the pair declined to comment on questions over whether the restraining order would be extended or what the custody arrangements for the children might be. Richards is currently dating Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, while Sheen has been seeing real estate investor Brooke Mueller.
