Sheen seeks to cut $55,000-a-month child support payment

ANTHONY McCARTNEY, AP Entertainment Writer


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlie Sheen recently sold his profit participation rights to comedy series "Two and a Half Men" for nearly $27 million, the actor disclosed in a court filing seeking to cut child support payments for his twin sons.

Sheen's filing Wednesday seeks to alter his divorce settlement with ex-wife Brooke Mueller. It states his income has changed significantly and he wants to change the $55,000-a month minimum monthly child support payments for his 6-year-old boys.

The actor sold his profit rights to "Two and a Half Men," which was once television's top-rated comedy and continues to air on replays, for $26.7 million. The sale occurred in the past year, the filing states.

Sheen's filing estimates a cut in his monthly income from more than $600,000-a-month down to nearly $167,000 as a result of the sale. He lists more than $12 million in debts, the majority of which is owed on mortgages, taxes, and legal fees.

The actor disclosed in November that he has HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, but has said he's healthy due to a rigorous drug regimen. His last major project was the FX comedy "Anger Management," which aired from 2012 to 2014.

Sheen and Mueller ended their marriage in 2011 after less than three years. He also has two daughters with actress Denise Richards.

One aspect of Sheen's divorce settlement with Mueller was that his child support payments for their sons could not be lower than the amount the actor paid to support his daughters with Richards. Sheen is now seeking to have that provision removed and a judge has scheduled a hearing for April 13.

A call to Mueller's attorney Lori Howe was not immediately returned Friday.

Sounds like he had a fairly bad attorney that negotiated that deal. $660,000 a year in child support? My guess is that $3,000 per month goes to the children, and $52,000 a month is spent by the ex. If you are a wealthy man in the US, father children at your own peril.

Must cost alot to raise children these days.

There are lots of people who go from nothing to very wealthy but don't know how to handle it or especially the beautiful women who will follow. It's like a bigger version of working guys who cash it all in and retire to a third world country where they are seen as rich. There will always be a woman standing there ready to take it. If they haven't had money all of their lives, many don't know how to keep from losing it.

Cheers.

It sounds like he is paying $110,000 out of his now $167,000 a month. Not sure if the income he claims is net or gross, but even so he hasn't much to live on himself now without using up his capital.

Not necessarily. Not less does not mean it can not be (substantially) more. The payments to his daughters can be less than 55k a month.

So, the reruns alone were getting him more than $400k per month? Damn! Now I understand why all of Cosby's supporting cast backed off from denouncing him. I wonder how much the people with smaller parts in these shows get paid. Bonanza is popular in South America, the surviving actors getting something?

Yeah, I understand that having so much money is a curse, but still, I'd like to try it for a while, just for a change of pace. For about 10 years maybe...

Charlie Sheen grew up in a Hollywood family and has been a star since the 80's with movies like Platoon & Wall Street.He should know as well as anyone how to take care of his money. Then again, he did lose the plot.

lost the plot? while he was loosing the plot he was making alot of money doing his live tour. lots of celebs make more money loosing it by keeping them selves in the media eye. britney spears is a master of keeping herself in the public lime light.
