However much their paths diverge, Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards will always have court.

During a brief hearing today, a judge ordered the estranged exes to split $150,000 in attorney's fees and costs related to their ongoing custody battle.

The duo's nasty feud over their toddler daughters Sami and Lola seemed to simmer down in March, when both sides acknowledged some sort of mutually satisfactory agreement had been arrived at.

But last month, Richards told KIIS-FM host Ryan Seacrest that Sheen had stopped making child support payments. The sitcom star's camp refused to "dignify the majority of these allegations set forth by Denise Richards with any measure of response."

Sheen tied the knot May 30 with real-estate investor Brooke Mueller, his third trip down the aisle. Meanwhile, Richards has been making the media rounds promoting her E! reality series Denise Richards: It's Complicated. (E! Online is a division of E! Entertainment Television.)
