"We are very happy," said Sheen's attorney, Fern Wender. "The commissioner denied the majority of [Richard's] motion. Charlie is thrilled with the result."
"We are very pleased the judge took the time," said Denise's attorney, Neal Hersh. "We are very pleased. Denise will implement these orders and hope Charlie will implement them."
It is not clear what the two exes were feuding over.
"It was a serious issue that benefited the welfare of the children. It was a win situation for the children," said Hersh.
"Charlie only wants what is best for his young children. It is unfortunate that Richards and her attorney are trying to create a media circus to help her promote her reality television series," explained Charlie's publicist Stan Rosenfield:
Denise took the dispute to court on Thursday, July 17, seeking an emergency protective order to restrict Charlie's visitation rights. However, the judge dealing with their custody dispute, Harvey Silberman, was not in court that day. A sit in the judge asked Denise's attorney to raise the issue with Silberman on his return on Monday.
While Denise was present in the court along with her lawyer today, Charlie stayed away. Both the lawyers brought video recordings to support their contentions but these were not played during the closed court session. An expert testified but the nature of that testimony is unclear.
