Charlie Sheen is said to have failed in his bid to thrash out a new custody deal with ex-wife Denise Richards.

The former Two And A Half Men star attended a Los Angeles lawyer's office yesterday for a showdown with Denise.

Sources connected with the case told TMZ that Sheen, 45, wanted to set up an agreement to have daughters Sam and Lola at weekends.

However Denise is said to have concerns over the welfare of the children under Sheen's care.

Earlier this year the actor went on a marathon alcohol and drug binge with a group of prostitutes.

TMZ reports there were 'neutral third parties in the room' yesterday who agreed with Denise that Charlie should not be responsible for the children.

The matter is currently not scheduled to go to court and the actor will not get the visits he wants, the website claimed.

The news comes just a week after Sheen became officially divorced from Brooke Mueller, who he has twins Bob and Max with.

Brooke has reportedly been granted $55,000 a month in child support on top of a lump sum of $757,698.70 and another $1 million for her share of their marital home, according to U.S. reports.

Charlie will keep the family home, though, and the settlement documents are said to state: ‘Under no circumstances shall the child support paid by Charlie for Bob and Max be less than the child support paid by Charlie to Denise Richards for Sam and Lola.’

The finalised divorce settlement comes after Sheen lost his bid for custody of his two-year-old twin sons with Mueller last month.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hank Goldberg said it was ‘in the best interest of the children’ because of ‘questions of abuse and other inflammatory and emotional issues’.
