After a violent Christmas day encounter in Aspen, Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller have been spending time apart. Sources now tell PEOPLE that the separation could be permanent. "Brooke and Charlie still love each other, but they are very different," says the source. "[They] will make their best effort at counseling but divorce is definitely a possibility."On Christmas morning, Sheen was taken into police custody on suspicion of assaulting his wife. The actor hasn't been charged and was released Friday after posting an $8,500 bond. Prosecutors will determine whether to file charges.
Mueller and Sheen had their first children together -- twin boys Bob and Max -- earlier this year. The source tells PEOPLE, "For the good of the children they definitely want to see if counseling will help before anything further is decided."
The source claims that talk of a divorce was the catalyst that led to the altercation. "Brooke asked Charlie for a separation and divorce. This caused his temper to flair resulting in the incident that landed him in jail."
Mueller obtained a restraining order against her husband as a result of the violent domestic dispute. RadarOnline reports that the protection order was granted by the same judge who heard Sheen's case and allowed the actor's release from jail Friday night.

I hope Charlie sues her for alimony and custody of the kids..She`s nothing but a golddigging drama queen. I bet she fabricated the story of the knife just to gain sympathy..# 1 AGAIN...UH UH UH

Instead of name calling, go to the Smoking Gun website and read the restraining order that Denise Richards put on Charlie Sheen for the same type of abuse. He threatened to kill her and used the same tactics he on his current wife.
I would agree with those who aren't clear on why women keep marrying Mr. Sheen..but all this ranting and raving about the women being gold-diggers and how an alcoholic man with known violent tendencies should have custody of any child is delusional.
Leroy, You are an idiot. Shut up! I'd have tased him all the way to the cruiser, except all the alcohol may ignite. What a show that would be, huh!
Look if a man is a drunk and threatens his wife he will not change and Charlie has this kind of stuff in his past... His wife didn't make it up she just didn't want him to go to jail so she recanted after the fact. Ofcorse, yes being drunk herself makes her less creditable but most likely how OJ killed his wife because of a domestic dispute... For the twins sake if they both are drunks they can't be taking good care of the twins and the judge should have gotten family services involed so the boys are cared for. If she was a gold digger she would have got a restrining order and walked out and filed for the divorce instead of having it out with Charlie. I am sure Charlie has a pre nup if this is his fifth wife....It doesn't matter how much money he has and it will be a case of he said she said in court until he puts marks on her she doesn't have a case that is the problem with domestic voilence law he will most likely get off with a slap on the wrist. no way should he get his kids until he gets sober and can prove he's sober same with her....toddlers need constant supervision and they are not up to it cause they are acting like non adults both of them. Neither of them are fit to be parents Leroy..... I grew up under a parent with a drinking problem they do not make the best parent and they do not care when they are drinking and my mom was a saint she took my dad's crap because of her religious beliefs and I had a beer bottle or two thrown at my head drinking parents for these toddlers mean years of pain ahead for those little boys.
man, I think that picture totally says it all!!!!
Charlie Sheen... Mike Tyson... O.J. Simpson... all low life loser women beaters.

Weird kind of "love", threatening your wife with a knife. His jail pic makes him look like he has some issues. Ok people, see what too much alcohol and cocaine does to your brain?

TJ, What's your point? Brooke the "victim" and mother of newborn twins was the drunk one at 8:30 in the freakin' morning. Charlie is Charlie and Ms. Brooke knew that when she married him. She's either really stupid or she's a money grubbing whore.
True but she's no peach either. Neither of them should have been drunk at 8:30am! I think Child Protective Services needs to get the babies into foster care until both parents test negative for 6-12 months.
Someone explain to me why women keep marrying Charlie Sheen when they KNOW he's a womanizer and an abuser? And why does Charlie keep marrying these bimbos simply because they're knocked up? Charlie, you're shacking up with them, so why marry them because they get pregnant? It's not like you or the bimbos have any morals to begin with. He has something like 5 kids now, it's time to get a vasectomy.

It is about time these guys fought back! Fight for custody of the children Charlie. There is NO way the woman shoud always get the kids. Let her pay him child support. These men that constantly marry these gold-diggers are stupid! WAKE UP MEN...FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS IN REGARD TO GAINING CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILDREN. I'll bet you will see many of 'these' woman staying once they know they will lose custody and get nothing.

Like these men could really handle raising a child!! They can't control their penis or their emotions/anger. Let's just get Charlie a vasectomy and a drink and let him go
Dear God what a nut case you are. Just like Charlie Boy Sheen...and the idiot who married his sorry ass. SHE is as big a loser as he is for thinking she would be the exception to the Sheen Rule of Abuse. And for YOU to think that this alcoholic moron could actually raise a child properly is a sad statement. Get back to your National Enquirer and six pack of Bud.
I don't think his wife is making it all up.
I don't think she's a golddigger...and Charlie a good parent not if he's a drunk. trust me
Lived with a drunk as a dad .Believe me not a good way to live your life when you have to dodge beer bottles and your dinner ends up on the floor because there is no gravey or the stake is too fatty or to well done or dinner was too repetitive.
Neither is the wife if she was drunk at 8:30 am with toddlers in the home. Both poor examples of parents.she recanted because if the judge saw her high blood achool level and his they could loose custody of the kids both of them he had a lower level cause he's a guy high tolerence. Easy to say she made it up so that they don't loose custody and child services doesn't take the kids away right?
I don't think they deserve custody and child services should have been involved in the case to protect the twins. So sad he hasn't changed and Charlie will never change because men can't change and women have to understand that.
No matter who he is yes he's a talented actor and he's good looking charming and a bad boy type he is a womenizer and he has voilence in his background and if he teaches that to his sons that is not good at all the cycle of abuse will contiue.. there is no way he should have his sons no way. Remeber his dad wans't such a good father that is why Charlie is Charlie.....
Great idea! Maybe he and Alec Baldwin should raise the twins together. You, Susan, are a disgrace. I hope you never have to feel the pain those children would feel with an abuser as their primary caretaker. That is the pain you just sentenced those children to in your rant. Sounds like you are bitter because you had a husband who traded up for a better model. My sympathies are with him.
If he has to handle his drunk wife with a knife, he's a weiney. Father of the year award... NOT!!!

Charlie Sheen "may" get a divorce? Might I add Derr? He's a good liberal though. Someone to seek advice from when voting. Sheeple....
