Lola has a sister Sami, and their parents went through a long and turbulent custody battle, but both parties fought until a common ground was reached.
How Did Sheen Win Full Custody of Lola?
Sheen and Richards married in 2002, but fans were shocked when the actress filed for divorce while six months pregnant with their second daughter, Lola, citing inconceivable differences.

Despite going through a separation, Sheen was by Richards' side when Lola was born. "The Wild Things" star went into labor while she was at home, and after her c-section, Sheen was there to welcome their second daughter.
The former couple expressed how excited they were to welcome their daughter even though her arrival was during a transitional time in her parent's relationship.
However, the "Two and a Half Man" star's presence in the delivery had fans thinking the two had gotten back together, but Richards' friend said, "He wanted to be there. And she agreed to it. But they are not getting back together."

The divorce had the two actors going back and forth in a custody battle as both wanted different things. Richards wanted full custody and spousal support, and Sheen claimed joint custody with no spousal support.
Things got more heated between the two, with Richards asking the judge to protect her children from Sheen. It got heated between the two, with the "Anger Management" star saying this ex-wife was territorial over their kids and did not make room for them to settle things legally.
Nonetheless, Richards continued to fight for her children's protection and reasoned that Sheen needed to address major personal issues.

The actress' lawyer, Neal Raymond Hersh, clarified that Richards was not being malicious but simply protecting her children. Even though Hersh did not specify Sheen's personal issues, reports stated that some included "his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts."
The "Major League" star did not back down; he released a statement, saying, "Clearly, the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls."
Sheen was adamant that the truth would prevail and hit back at his ex-wife, requesting the court to be allowed to choose his children's childcare providers and that Richards should stop calling him for no valid reasons.

The former couple was eventually declared divorced but still needed to finish working through dividing their assets and settling their custody battle.
Eventually, Sheen and Richard appeared again in court, but the actress did not show up because she was out of state this time. However, the actor's lawyer Gregory Pedrick claimed that Sheen had full custody and did not need to pay spousal support.
In contrast, a close source to Richards claimed that Sheen owed the reality star four years of child support money, of which Pedrick disputed that it was the other way round because the "Hot Shots!" star had overpaid.

The child support was eventually taken off the table for Richards, but Sheen was not willing to fight for the reported overpaid amount.
