Did you hear that Denise Richards asked a judge to protect her children from ex-husband Charlie Sheen earlier today? The custody battle sure is heating up!

Sheen responded with a statement regarding Richards “behaves as though she owns our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching.”

Richards Lawyer, Neal Raymond Hersh, made a statement “She believes that Charlie has significant personal issues which he has failed to address and which require her to take action to protect her children. This is not a vindictive action. Any responsible parent in Denise’s shoes would go to the ends of the Earth to protect her children.”

Papers obtained by Access Hollywood show that Richards has accused Sheen of “inappropriate behavior … and conduct,” including “his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts.” Richards seeks to stop Sheen’s overnight privileges with their daughters.

Sheen countered by releasing a statement: “Clearly the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls. ”

He added: “The truth will prevail. It always does.”
