After a brief period of relative silence on the Charlie Sheen vs Denise Richards child custody front, the former couple have resumed their feud via opposing statements.

Sheen, who is trying to change the terms of their current custody agreement so he can be responsible for his own child care decisions, told Usmagazine.com on Aug. 28:

“Until I’m granted the ability to hire my own nanny, [Denise Richards] is required to provide one and I was terribly insulted that she felt her 'assistant' was a suitable replacement. If it’s unfortunate that I’m speaking, it’s 'unfortunate' that an incredibly loving and responsible father and his terrifically capable fiancé are being subjected to these transparent and unnecessary sanctions, that have nothing to do with responsible co-parenting and everything to do with punishment and control. As long as I am forced to live under these conditions with my children, people are going to hear about it.”

For her part, Richards continues to ask that Sheen keep their family issues between them. She tells Us:

"I was disappointed to learn of my ex-husband Charlie Sheen's current statement regarding our personal affairs. this was and should still be a private matter that we as responsible parents settled privately. I stand by that agreement and I will continue to do what is best for our children while attempting to keep this family situation a private matter."

Sheen and Richards have two children together, daughters Sam, 3, and Lola, 2. They were married in 2002 and divorced 4 years later. Sheen recently became engaged to girlfriend Brooke Mueller.
