Another Custody Battle Heats Up - This One Between Denise Richards And Charlie Sheen - PIC

The custody battle between Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen is heating up after Denise asked a judge yesterday to protect their children from Charlie.

“She believes that Charlie has significant personal issues which he has failed to address and which require her to take action to protect her children,” says lawyer Neal Raymond Hersh. “This is not a vindictive action. Any responsible parent in Denise’s shoes would go to the ends of the Earth to protect her children.”

Denise accuses Charlie of “inappropriate behavior … and conduct,” including “his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts.” Because of this behavior, Denise is asking the court to suspend Charlie’s overnight visits with their daughters.

Charlie fought back, saying:

“Clearly the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls. She behaves as though she OWNS our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching. The truth will prevail. It always does.”

This new battle comes only a month after Charlie went to court requesting that he be allowed to select his own child care providers and that Denise cease her “unnecessary phone calls.”

This one is going to get ugly.

What others are saying:

TMZ says, “It just keeps getting uglier in the Sheen-Richards custody tussle.”

Star says, “Charlie Sheen isn’t keeping quiet about his anger toward ex Denise Richards.”

dlisted says, “They need to learn a thing or two from Brit and KFed about how to put together a truly theatrical and dramatic custody battle. This shit is boring.”

Celebrity Dirty Laundry says, “Richards also alleges her children don’t enjoy their time with their father and don’t want to spend the night at his house.”

celebitchy says, “Sheen is happily engaged to a new woman, and that’s got to get under Richards’ skin. She has yet to be tied a new man after Richie Sambora and there was a rumor that she was using an incredibly expensive dating service to try and land a rich guy. I’m not saying a woman needs a man to be happy or to behave cordially, just that someone who is already a super bitch is probably much worse when she doesn’t have a man doting on her.”
