Charlie Sheen wants his kids to live real close by?
Charlie Sheen wants two of his ex-wives to move into his gated Los Angeles community, and he is willing to foot the bill for the house and the moving expenses so that he can live closer to his four children, reports AOL Real Estate.
Experts say it is good for the kids if divorce parents live within close proximity of each other, but only if they can all get along. “They must have resolved their anger, internal pain, hurt, and practice forgiveness for and with each other,” says Dr. Joyce Morley.
Just how would one describe Charlie Sheen’s relationship with exes Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller?
Well, Sheen did spend Christmas 2009 in behind bars after Mueller reported him to Aspen authorities for choking her and threatening her with a knife. The star of “Two and a Half Men” was arrested on domestic abuse charges. He filed for divorce about a year later, but Reuters reports it will not become final until May.
However, some reports cite that recently estranged wife Mueller has been seen visiting Sheen at his home while he was participating in in-home rehab at his Mulholland Estate after an alleged week-long cocaine binge sent him to the hospital. Richards was also seen at the home.
It would appear that these women still care about Sheen’s well-being, even if for the sake of their children. But do they care enough to let him buy them houses up the road? Well, if they do, there are several things the ex-wives will want to arrange if they accept his house proposal, family law attorney Roberta Stanley of Brinkley Morgan in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. told AOL Real Estate.
Any other woman in this predicament should follow the same advice, which includes:
- Draw up the deal in a contract
- Make a plan for who covers maintenance and home repairs (if the ex has a greater income, like Sheen, that person should be the majority)
- Appoint a neutral third-party to approve or reject payment of expenses
- Determine who will have ownership of the home
- Decide what happens to the home when the kids are grown
