Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller were officially divorced this week, said TMZ.com. Sheen, 45, and Mueller, 33, have lived apart since an infamous 2009 Christmas Day brawl that led to Sheen’s guilty plea on a misdemeanor assault charge. As part of the settlement, Mueller will receive a lump sum of $757,000 and also $1 million for her share of the family home and $55,000 per month in child support for the couple’s 2-year-old twins. Sheen, currently unemployed, is also paying $55,000 a month in support for two children he had with ex-wife Denise Richards.
