LOS ANGELES -- They're on, they're off, and apparently, they're off.
Lawyers for Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards filed legal papers Wednesday asking a private judge to handle their divorce, Sheen's publicist said.
"They asked the court to go to a private arbitrator. They want to keep it private," publicist Stan Rosenfield said. He wouldn't comment further.
Richards' publicist, Cheryl Maisel, also confirmed the filing but refused to elaborate.
The papers, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, requested that the case be taken out of court and assigned to retired commissioner Jill S. Robbins.
Richards filed for divorce in March after three years of marriage. The relationship appeared to dissolve in the public eye just months before the 34-year-old actress gave birth to the couple's second child, Lola. They also have an older daughter, Sam.
Months later, Sheen and Richards seemed to have reconciled. In November, the 40-year-old actor flashed his wedding ring on CBS' "Late Late Show," telling host Craig Ferguson "things are really good."
Richards and Sheen met while shooting the independent film "Good Advice" in 2000 and appeared in 2003's "Scary Movie 3."
Sheen stars in the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men." His screen credits include "Platoon," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and the "Hot Shots!" movies.
Richards, a former Bond girl, also appeared in "Wild Things" and "Starship Troopers."
