The custody dispute between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards intensified Wednesday after the actress asked a judge to protect their children from her ex-husband.

Sheen angrily responded, saying that Richards “behaves as though she owns our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching.”

The latest scuffle in the battle between Sheen and Richards over daughters Sam, 3, and Lola, 2, began with the actress’s Superior Court filing.

The document was not yet released, but her attorney said that Richards is seeking “the assistance of the court to obtain orders to protect her children” from Sheen.

“She believes that Charlie has significant personal issues which he has failed to address and which require her to take action to protect her children,” says lawyer Neal Raymond Hersh. “This is not a vindictive action. Any responsible parent in Denise’s shoes would go to the ends of the Earth to protect her children.”

Her lawyer didn’t state what those “issues” were.

Sheen countered by releasing a statement: “Clearly the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls. ”

He added: “The truth will prevail. It always does.”

While Charlie Sheen and fiancée Brooke Mueller basked on the beach over the weekend with Sheen’s daughters Lola and Sam, it seems the mandatory presence of Denise Richards’ “assistant” rained on their relaxation.

Sheen told People magazine that his ex-wife’s spy sullied his opportunity to spend quality time with his girls, and the “Platoon” star is in the process of pushing to change the custody clause

Meanwhile, a lawyer for Richards hit back at Sheen’s public outburst, telling TMZ.com “it is unfortunate that Charlie is discussing this matter in the press in an attempt to discredit Denise.”

The attorney also suggested that Sheen has something sinister to hide and that is why a third party is required for all his father-daughter dates.

But Charlie has vowed not to keep his lips zipped until Denise stops the control-freak mothering.

“Until I’m granted the ability to hire my own nanny, she is required to provide one and I was terribly insulted that she felt her ‘assistant’ was a suitable replacement,” Sheen told FOXNews.com.

“If it’s unfortunate that I’m speaking, it’s ‘unfortunate’ that an incredibly loving and responsible father and his terrifically capable fiancée 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,” he said.

When asked if the rumors are true Charlie tells ET ONLINE, “They are true. There is documentation that I’ll show in court revealing the request for my ‘donation.‘” Sheen adds, “I’m good to enough to provide DNA but I’m not good enough to hire my own child care provider?” When asked if he would consider making a donation, Sheen candidly tells ET ONLINE, “I would sooner walk on the surface of the moon in exactly what I’m wearing.”

Sheen is requesting to amend his custody agreement with Denise Richards, he discusses with ET ONLINE the points that he would like to change in their agreement. Charlie tells ET, “I want an extra weekend per month, the ability to hire my own nanny or child care provider and no phone calls to the house unless there is a medical emergency.” He adds, “If there’s a problem then call, but otherwise I don’t want to interrupt my time with the girls to run to the phone.” Regarding childcare for his children, Sheen admits to ET ONLINE, “As far as this nanny business, I can’t be monitored anymore. The type of household that Brooke and I provide, we should be able to decide if we need help or not.”

The cease fire between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards is over.

The exes, who endured a famously nasty divorce in 2006, have recently been photographed together enjoying family outings with their daughters, Sam, 3, and Lola, 2, and even Sheen’s fiancée Brooke Mueller.

However, according to the New York Post’s Page Six, those days are done.

A friend close to Sheen, 41, tells Page Six that, while the Two and a Half Men star is trying to haul Richards into L.A. Family Court to get looser visitation rights that won’t require him to be supervised, Richards is opposed to the plan.

“She’s doing everything she can to keep his visits supervised by her nanny, because her nanny spies for her,” says the source.

Another Sheen pal denies reports that Richards sent congratulatory flowers to the engaged couple and recently went shopping with Mueller, 29.

“Denise set it up,” says the friend. “Brooke never got the flowers, but she did get a call from Denise saying, ‘It’s an emergency, come meet me now.’ When Brooke met her, there were four paparazzi waiting to take their picture. After the pictures were done, Denise told Brooke, ‘It’s been taken care of.’ ”

Richards, 36, denies the sources’ claims. “This is disgusting,” she told Page Six. “He is doing this now because he’s not happy with me and the custody arrangement.”

She shot down rumors that she’s withholding the couple’s children from their father.

“My mom is going through chemotherapy and I asked Charlie if my mom could see the kids before she got really sick. That’s a valid request. He doesn’t stick to the schedule he has with the kids – that’s not my fault.”

She continued: “I did ask both Charlie and Brooke to lunch to see the kids – he hadn’t seen them in two weeks – but only Brooke took me up on it. The paparazzi were already following me, as they do every day, and took a picture – and I have the bill for the flowers I sent from Mark’s Garden. Brooke even showed my nanny the flowers.”

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards have extended the restraining order that requires Sheen to stay away from Richards and their two daughters, the Associated Press reports.

Sheen, 40, must stay at least 300 yards from Richards, 35, and their daughters Sam, 2, and Lola, 1, except for supervised visits with the children.

In a statement issued by her rep that day, Richards said, “I am disappointed that the situation has deteriorated to the point that it has become necessary to seek the assistance of the court. However, my primary concern is and always has been the welfare of the children and this action today was taken to ensure their safety as well as mine.” In a statement of his own, Sheen called the allegations “a most obvious immature and transparent smear campaign designed to hurt, embarrass and ultimately extort me.”
