Charlie Sheen makes peace with Denise Richards

The divorcing couple now have a friendly agreement, say lawyers

The acrimonious divorce battle between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards is over – for now, according to a joint statement by their lawyers.

"Both parties have amicably resolved any outstanding issues on an interim basis," Sheen's attorney, Lance Spiegel, said Monday outside a Los Angeles courthouse with Richards's lawyer, Neal Hersh, by his side.

However, the divorce has not been finalized.

Sheen, 40, and Richards, 35, were not present at the brief hearing, which took place in judge's quarters. Attorneys for both declined to comment on questions regarding whether a restraining order against Sheen would be extended or what the custody arrangements would be for the couple's daughters Sam, 2, and Lola, 1.

In an order of protection that expired today, Sheen was required to stay at least 300 yards from Richards and their daughters, except for supervised visits with the children.

Sheen and Richards wed in June 2002; Richards filed for divorce in March 2005 while pregnant with Lola.

Richards is now dating Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, 47, while Sheen has been spotted with real estate investor Brooke Mueller, 28.
