Charlie Sheen is agreeing to give former wife Brooke Mueller a six-figure sum in back child support.

A Los Angeles judge signed off on a settlement agreement between the exes July 7, requiring the "Two and a Half Men" alum, 60, to pay a total of $500,000 to the actress, 48, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY. Half of the money must be paid by Friday, July 10, and the rest is due Sept. 1.

The filing states that the agreement came after Sheen "considered the risk of litigation and costs thereof and has decided that it is preferable to settle these issues rather than to be subjected to the uncertainties associated with the litigation process."

This marks the resolve of their dispute over child support debt and interest dating back to March 1, 2011, until July 1 of this year. The agreement says Sheen and Mueller, who share twin 17-year-old sons Bob and Max Sheen, are each responsible for the financial support of the kids while in their custody moving forward.

Sheen was also ordered to pay $60,000 in Mueller's attorneys' fees by Oct. 15.

In December, Mueller filed a motion claiming Sheen was owed nearly $9 million in unpaid support, plus more than $6 million in accrued interest and $25,000 in legal fees, per documents obtained by USA TODAY at the time.

She further stated Sheen was ordered to pay $55,000 per month in April 2010, but he failed to complete those payments either partially or entirely beginning in July 2011.

Sheen and Mueller were married from 2008 to 2011 and had a tumultuous relationship at times, including custody battles, both entering rehab and an incident in 2009 during which the Golden Globe winner allegedly pulled a knife on Mueller.

In recent years, the pair have voiced their support for one another. In 2019, Sheen addressed Mueller's decision to enter a trauma center in a video published by TMZ, stating, "I think she's right where she needs to be."

"I hope she gets the help she needs," he added. "We're here when she reaches out. She knows where to find us."
