Charlie Sheen is claiming to run into some financial trouble and has asked a judge to reduce his massive child support payments to ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller.
Sheen has two daughters with Richards and twin boys with Mueller, and has been paying them each $55,000 a month in child support. This used to be doable, he argued, when he was making $613,000 a month with Two and a Half Men. He now makes closer to $87,000 a month.
TMZ reports Richards has been getting the same amount of money each month since 2009, but he can no longer afford it. Despite his decrease in salary, his medical expenses are another reason he’s asking the judge to approve the reduction in child support.
Daily News reports he claims he’s spending $25,000 in medical expenses each month.
Back when Sheen went public with being HIV-positive in November, he revealed he was extorted out of $10 million when trying to hide his diagnosis from the public for four years.
