According to the New York Daily News, actor Charlie Sheen’s children are going to live with an uncle after actress Denise Richards asked them to be removed from her home following a dispute over alleged violent behavior.

The Daily News reported that Scott Mueller, the brother of Sheen’s ex-wife Brooke Mueller, has been named the temporary guardian of the 4-year-old twin boys. Mueller reportedly has issues with drug use and has had numerous stints in rehab.

Richards, who was married to Sheen prior to Mueller, was acting as a guardian for the boys, while issues involving substance abuse with Mueller were ongoing. Richards had children with Sheen prior to his marriage to Mueller, keeping the twins at her home full-time.

According to the Daily News, Richards informed a court recently that she wanted to step down as the twins’ guardian because Mueller allegedly blocked her attempt to get them professional help for “violent behavior”.

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) reportedly tried to ask Richards to keep the kids. “A special mediation with Richards, Mueller and DCFS Medical Director Dr. Charles Sophy on [November 7] failed to keep Richards onboard while officials continue their effort to gradually “reunify” the twins with Mueller,” gossip site TMZ reported.

Sheen reportedly sides with Richards, believing the twins may have undiagnosed fetal alcohol syndrome and has not agreed with Mueller’s decision to block behavioral assessments.

“He wants to push DCFS to have the boys evaluated by a psychiatrist. He wants an intervention,” a source close to Sheen told the Daily News. “Brooke says she doesn’t want anything that might lead to medication, but the real reason she doesn’t want this, in my opinion, is that it would expose her actions.”

Richards said in a letter to DCFS officials that the twins kicked and punched her daughters in “zombie-like” attacks while they were under her watch.

I Need a Child Custody Attorney

Obviously, doing what is best for the children should be the top priority for everyone involved in this dispute. This case shows that it is important to retain the services of an experienced family attorney in any child custody case.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
