URGENT UPDATE: Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, has filed court documents demanding nearly $15 million in unpaid child support, a significant financial dispute that could reshape their ongoing custody battle. According to reports from Us Weekly, Mueller claims Sheen has not fulfilled his court-ordered obligation of $660,000 per year since their divorce.
Earlier today, on December 4, 2024, Mueller officially requested a hearing to determine the exact amount Sheen owes her, alleging that the total includes $8,967,600 in back child support and an additional $6.4 million in interest accrued since March 1, 2011, bringing the grand total to an astonishing $15,386,000.
In her motion, Mueller details Sheen’s sporadic payments, noting that he paid only $295,000 for 2011, despite owing $550,000. She claims he made no payments at all from 2012 to 2015 and only minimal amounts in subsequent years, such as $30,000 in 2024 and $39,000 so far this year.
Mueller’s declaration to the court highlights the severity of the situation: “Charlie made full child support payments through June 2011. Beginning in July 2011, he made either partial payments or failed to make any payments.” She demands that Sheen pay the overdue child support and an additional $25,000 toward her legal fees within 30 days of the court’s ruling.
This development comes amidst previous legal entanglements, including a 2024 court filing where Sheen claimed to have reached a custody agreement with Mueller, which stipulates that he would gain sole custody if she relapsed. Their shared commitment to co-parenting has been marred by financial disputes and past domestic issues, including Sheen’s arrest related to an incident involving Mueller.
Mueller, who appeared in Sheen’s Netflix documentary released in September, has previously expressed gratitude for Sheen’s support during her struggles with substance abuse, stating, “Charlie really stepped up when my stuff was going dark.” However, the current legal battle suggests a stark contrast to their previously amicable relationship.
As this case unfolds, many are watching closely to see how the courts will respond to Mueller’s claims. This urgent legal dispute is not just about money; it reflects the ongoing complexities of their co-parenting relationship and the challenges both face as they navigate their past.
