Charlie Sheen wants full custody of twins

Los Angeles - Charlie Sheen wants full legal custody of his two-year-old sons Bob and Max.

The troubled actor - who earlier this month came to an agreement about their wellbeing with estranged wife Brooke Mueller - wants legal and physical responsibility for the twins after Mueller checked herself back into a rehabilitation facility for failing to undertake a drug test on April 15.

According to gossip website TMZ, Sheen's lawyer Mark Gross gave notice to Mueller's attorney, revealing he wanted to change the terms of their agreement in court and terminate the obligation to pay her £33 500 a month in child support as she would no longer incur such expenses while in rehab.

Mueller responds

However, in response her team are expected to ask for full custody and request Sheen - who lives with his two girlfriends in a Los Angeles mansion - undergoes a psychological evaluation.

Discussing the wellbeing of her sons recently, Mueller - who agreed to take a drug test every week until the pair turned 18 - said the pair were healthy and happy.

Speaking about claims she took drugs while pregnant, she said: "The boys are having a wonderful time. Everybody's healthy and happy.

"When people say all those mean things . oh yeah, I think, get a life. I would say about 50% of the time they're lies. The only thing I care about is that people know I'm a good mother."
