What's Happening?
Charlie Sheen has agreed to pay his ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, $500,000 to settle a long-standing child support dispute. Mueller had initially claimed that Sheen owed her $15 million in unpaid child support, but the two parties reached a settlement for
a significantly lower amount. The agreement stipulates that Sheen will pay Mueller $250,000 by the end of the week, with the remaining balance due by September 1. This settlement covers child support and interest from March 2011 through July 2026. Sheen and Mueller, who were married from 2008 to 2011, share twin sons, Max and Bob. The dispute arose from Mueller's claim that Sheen had failed to make full child support payments since July 2011.
