14 DAY TRIAL // At the end of last year, actor Charlie Sheen was taken into custody after allegedly becoming intoxicated and getting into a verbal and physical spat with his wife of almost 2 years, Brooke Mueller. Since then, both have been to rehab and word even had it at some point that they were working things out. Not really, TMZ now says, having gotten a hold on the court documents filed for divorce, detailing a financial agreement before the separation.
Brooke and Charlie have been on the rocks for long before they got into the altercation that ended with a night in prison for the actor and an assault charge for which he’s about to serve time in jail, buzz in the blogosphere has it. They haven’t yet made any announcement regarding their decision to divorce, but things are certainly progressing in that direction, the aforementioned media outlet says. The 43-page document that was just filed in court shows just how determined the two are to make the split as clean as possible.
“Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller signed a 43-page agreement – obtained by TMZ - that says out who gets what in the event they divorce. […] According to the docs, signed by both Charlie and Brooke, they will get joint legal custody of their two kids. Brooke gets primary physical custody and Charlie becomes a weekend dad, getting the kids on the first, third and fifth weekends of the month from Saturday at 10 AM until Monday at 10 AM. Brooke gets $55,000 a month in child support, plus various other expenses, but, according to the docs, ‘under no circumstances shall the child support paid by Charlie for Bob and Max be less than the child support paid by Charlie to Denise Richards for Sam and Lola’,” TMZ says.
“Brooke waives spousal support but still cashes in. In addition to getting a 50% cut on the baby photos the couple sold to Getty Images, Brooke gets several bank accounts and a lump sum parting gift of $757,689.70. Charlie gets the house but has to buy Brooke out to the tune of around $1 million. Charlie also gets to keep his $5.6 mil watch collection. At the end of the document, Brooke agrees ‘not to disclose to any media sources personal information relating to Charlie’s affairs or alleged drug usage.’ For his part, Charlie agrees not to talk about Brooke’s alleged drug use,” the same media outlet further informs.
Aside from this confidentiality clause, which comes just in the nick of time as Brooke is reportedly back to rehab for the so-called alleged drug problem, the documents also stipulate that neither party is to badmouth the other – neither in front of their two children nor to the media.
