 The couple, who married in May 2008, have twin boys |
A lawyer for Charlie Sheen has requested that cameras be barred from a court hearing over allegations that the actor put a knife to his wife's throat.
A motion filed in Pitkin District Court claimed Mr Sheen wished to preserve his wife's privacy and protect his right to a fair trial, the Aspen Times reports.
The star, 44, was arrested in Aspen on Christmas Day on suspicion of assault, menacing and criminal mischief.
Mr Sheen denies threatening his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen, with a knife.
Mrs Mueller Sheen told police the Two and a Half Men star threatened to kill her during a row after she said she wanted a divorce.
'In love'
Arrest papers quote her as saying he held her down on the bed, held a knife to a throat and told her: "You better be in fear. If you tell anybody, I'll kill you."
However, lawyers for both husband and wife say they want to try to reconcile and were still "very much in love".
A judge is set to consider the couple's request to revise a protection order preventing them from communicating with each other at the hearing on 20 January.
Mr Sheen, who was was named America's highest paid TV star in 2008, married, for the third time, in May 2008. It followed an acrimonious divorce from actress Denise Richards in 2006.
