Judge orders Sheen wages docked for child support

$55,000 a month?????!!! Do the kids wear clothes made out of gold??

Pay me 55k a month and I'll raise his kids and mine.

$55,000.00 a month child support? Most families in the US don't see that in a year in this economy. When are we going to stop making idols of actors and actresses? So they are good at make believe. In Shakespear's day, actors were at the bottom of the heap. This amount shows how out of touch Hollywood is.

can you imagine it? 55K 'a month'??????? Thats more than my husband makes a year in construction business.

it isn't the money that raises the kids, it is the love, stability and nurturing, and I don't think they will ever get that. Most celebrity kids grow up more messed up than their parents and that is so tragic

Oh please, 55,000 is RIDICULOUS. I am all for him paying child support but no one needs that much money a month!

"$55,000 a month for child support": This is simply alimony. It takes NO child that much to be "supported".

Would the court make her show receipts that prove the money is being spent on the children (or being put in a trust for them) or is she free to spend that money on herself? Just wondering. It would seem his attorneys should be able to ask for audits periodically to demonstrate that the entire 55K is either receipts for child expenses or deposits into their account----and not a charge card for Coach purses and Tiffany jewelry. By the way, he's a jerk, but I think it's important that the money be 100% for the children (assuming she has separate alimony arranged).

Welcome to American Court System. It is based on what the individual made that year. Irregardless of what it should cost to raise a child it is based off what you made. THEN add daycare and Health care. He is lucky because he can afford it. I was laid off but still have to come up with the money or i will be thrown in jail and my face on the electronic billboard off of I-77 for all to see with a caption saying - DEADBEAT DAD. Welcome to America. Land of the slaves.

Wow! A no talent overpaid Actor who never really did anything to deserve the money he gets who has to give money to a woman who never really did anything for the money she get. just the story I want to read after a day working for pennies at the salt mine...

$55,000 a month in child support??? Whatever you think of Charlie Sheen that is insane!!!! Even $55,000 a year would be ridiculous!!!

These rules about the money for Child Support and Alimony are such a joke. 55K for child support, that is more than most people earn in a year. So this would mean she needs to supply the same amount of money since children are from both parents, so this kid costs 110K a year? Sounds like Momma is living good for doing nothing but spreading her legs.

This is retarded. I agree with child support but no child needs $55k a month and if the spouse didn't have her own income after divorce she doesn't deserve a regular allowance after the base settlement.

Here's an idea: Charlie pay half of his kids needs per month, Brooke gets a job and pays the other half! AND ,she supports herself! AND, she provides a home for her kids! Ohhh. I forgot. She's just another twit with no skills or talent or ability. I'm no Sheen fan, but that is beyond ridiculous.

$55k/mo is the maximum they can take. I remember this coming up before a few years ago, it may be different now. He was making around $1.6+ mil per episode. It has nothing to do with what it costs to raise a kid. Just the courts diso-master program. Which depends mostly on who has physical custody and the differences in their wages.

This is complete bull. He has always been ontime with his payments. There is no reason to doc his pay like this. If he was constantly late or behind sure go ahead but that is not the case. And seriouslly 55k to raise two kids a month. That is rediculous. That is more then most people make in a year.

Im sorry, I don't like Charlie Sheen but 55K a month is ridiculous. It doesnt cost that much to raise to damn kids...

while there isn't a healthy child alive that requires $55,000 a month and i think that's a disgusting waste of money, how big of an %$# does he have to be to not pay child support?

I thought it was bad that I pay $2800 a month. The courts are just flat out dead in the head. Maybe she and my ex should get jobs like the rest of the world.

thats more than twice what i make a year!!!!! thats nuts
