It seems Charlie Sheen's Christmas Day assault on Brooke Mueller took more of toll on their marriage than anyone realized.
In divorce documents filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Sheen reveals that he and Mueller have been separated since Dec. 25, 2009, the day that he got arrested on domestic violence charges after allegedly pulling a knife on her. Sheen cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce.

According to the filing, the 45-year-old actor, who pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor assault in exchange for probation and rehab, believes that any money he made after Dec. 25 belongs to him alone and isn't subject to community property laws. That includes the last 10 months of pay from "Two and a Half Men." Sheen reportedly makes close to $2 million per episode of the hit CBS sitcom.
The divorce filing details that Sheen and Mueller, 33, had a pre-nuptial agreement. To that end, Sheen claims "separate property" over everything he made prior to their May 2008 marriage.
Sheen is also asking for joint custody of the couple's 18-month-old twins, Bob and Max. In a separate divorce filing, according to People magazine, Mueller asked for primary physical custody of the boys with visitation rights for Sheen.
TMZ.com obtained a previous property settlement the couple signed in May in which Sheen agreed to pay Mueller $55,000 a month in child support. He also agreed to pay her $1 million to keep the couple's home and an additional lump sum payment of $757,689.70.

Well, sorta—the actress who played everybody’s favorite middle child, Eve Plumb, last night opened the silly and sweet new Off Broadway production Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage. The play was written by Ken Davenport and Sarah Saltzberg, the clever minds behind Altar Boyz and 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, respectively. The show is super fun and, at less than 90 minutes, the perfect romp for an evening out with friends. Plumb (pictured here with costar Manuel Herrera, who plays her lusty assistant), plays “a retro relationship maven doling out advice about how to improve your love life,” as I write in my A– review. The best part of Plumb’s performance? Her spot-on delivery. Plumb serves up old-school bon mots on relationships “with deft timing, a wink, and a nudge,” making Miss Abigail’s Guide totally “worth following.”
