Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards Ordered To Split Legal Bill

CHARLIE SHEEN and his ex-wife DENISE RICHARDS have been ordered to split $150,000 (GBP75,000) in attorney's fees relating to their ongoing custody battle.

The pair divorced in 2006 but has since been embroiled in a bitter dispute over custody of their two daughters, three-year-old Sam and Lola, two.

They have spent months in court battling over the amount of time Sheen has with his children and his right to choose the nannies for their kids - rather than allowing his ex-wife's employees into his home.

And now - in a hearing on Monday (09Jun08) - a Los Angeles judge has ordered Sheen and Richards to equally split the bill which has been racked up by their ongoing legal feud.

Sheen remarried last week (30May08), with Brooke Mueller becoming his third wife at a small ceremony in L.A.
