Charlie Sheen reaches divorce deal with estranged wife

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Charlie Sheen and his estranged third wife, Brooke Mueller, have agreed to the terms of their divorce, capping a brief, stormy marriage that collapsed after a violent quarrel on Christmas Day 2009.

The divorce settlement, which cannot become final before May, was revealed in court documents made public on Thursday by the celebrity website TMZ.com.

News of the agreement comes about two weeks after Sheen entered rehab following a reported 36-hour binge of drug and alcohol abuse, forcing production to be halted on his top-rated CBS television comedy, "Two and a Half Men."

Under terms of the settlement, which TMZ said was filed on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Mueller will gain primary physical custody of the couple's twin 2-year-old sons, Bob and Max, and Sheen will pay child support of $55,000 a month.

Sheen, 45, Mueller, 33, have been separated since December 2009, when the actor was arrested in the ski resort of Aspen, Colorado, on charges of assaulting his wife during an argument on Christmas Day.
