UPDATE: Brooke Mueller, the ex-wife of actor Charlie Sheen, has filed a court motion demanding $15,386,000 in unpaid child support. Just announced on December 4, 2023, Mueller claims Sheen owes her $8,967,600 in back payments and an additional $6.4 million in interest, marking a significant legal battle that could have lasting ramifications for both parties.
In her filing, Mueller asserts that Sheen has consistently failed to meet his court-ordered child support obligations of $660,000 per year since their divorce, which dates back to 2011. She is seeking a hearing to determine the exact amount owed, emphasizing her urgency by requesting a ruling within 30 days.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Mueller indicates that Sheen made minimal payments over the years. She states he only paid $295,000 for the year 2011, despite owing $550,000. From 2012 to 2015, he allegedly did not make any payments. The pattern continued with small amounts in subsequent years: $96,000 in 2016, $228,366 in 2017, $113,000 in 2018, and nothing from 2019 to 2022. Mueller reported a total of $20,000 in 2023, $30,000 in 2024, and only $39,000 thus far in 2025.
Mueller’s filing reflects the emotional and financial strain of their ongoing disputes, as she claims, “Charlie made full child support payments through June 2011. Beginning in July 2011, he made either partial payments or failed to make any payments.”
This latest development adds to the tumultuous history between the former couple, who share custody of their children. In a previous court filing, Sheen suggested that he had reached a custody agreement with Mueller, which includes provisions for sole custody should she relapse.
While Mueller has publicly praised Sheen for his role in her recovery from substance abuse, her legal actions indicate a deep-seated frustration over financial support. Sheen’s past legal troubles, including a brief stint in rehab stemming from their volatile relationship, add layers of complexity to this case.
As this situation evolves, all eyes will be on the upcoming court hearing. The implications of Mueller’s claims could set a precedent for how child support obligations are enforced in celebrity divorces.
