People magazine reported lawyers for both actors said in a joint statement, made outside a courtroom Monday, that their clients have reached a formal agreement in the divorce, but have not concluded what has so far been a very acrimonious process.

"Both parties have amicably resolved any outstanding issues on an interim basis," said Lance Spiegel, Sheen's attorney, in the statement.

Since filing for divorce from the 40-year-old Sheen in April, Richards had obtained a restraining order against her husband to limit his contact with her and their two daughters, 2-year-old Sam and Lola, 1.

The actors' lawyers had no comment on whether the order, which expired Monday, would be extended.

The 35-year-old Richards is dating rocker Richie Sambora, while Sheen has been seeing real estate investor Brooke Mueller, said People.
