When someone faces the prospect of a divorce, that person may hesitate to initiate the dissolution of that marriage for many reasons.  Clearly, most people in this situation are experiencing many powerful and confusing emotions that do not lend themselves to action, but another common reason for hesitation is because people are deeply concerned about the potential cost of a litigated California divorce.  While Hollywood divorce watching is not likely to offer any solace to those who may be ending their marriages soon, a look at how the recently completed divorce of Charlie Sheen took effect could reassure some that divorce does not need to be a long-term, terrible fight.

According to recent reports, Mr. Sheen has recently finalized his divorce with his ex-wife, Brooke Mueller.  The two were married in May of 2008 and have two children together that are products of the marriage.  Given the recent exploits of Mr. Sheen, many would assume that his divorce would have been nasty.  However, it has recently been resolved without any litigation, as the two worked together to reach and agree on a marital settlement agreement that was recently approved by the appropriate court.

Mr. Sheen and Ms. Mueller agreed on several different terms, including the initial payout to divide the marital estate, the housing issue, the transportation issue and other items.  They also agreed to terms regarding the custody and primary care of their children as well as the amount of child support that would be paid by Mr. Sheen to Ms. Mueller.
