Legal move: Brooke Mueller went to court on Friday in an attempt to regain custody of her children

Brooke Mueller has failed to regain custody of twin sons Bob and Max after a court bid on Friday.

According to TMZ, the 35-year-old troubled ex-wife of Charlie Sheen sent lawyers to court on Friday to try to remove her children from the care of Charlie's ex-wife Denise Richards.

The website reported Brooke wanted her children to stay with her brother while she receives rehab treatment at The Betty Ford Centre at Rancho Mirage, near Palm Springs, California.

It is alleged she fears Charlie's 'volcanic temper' will put the twins 'in harm's way,' and that leaving them in Denise's care will 'expose them' to Charlie, as he lives in the same gated complex.

Charlie has two other children by the former Bond girl - Sam, nine, and Lola, six.

Brooke's lawyers went to court with what they claim are sealed documents 'outlining a pattern of violence,' reports TMZ. 

Sources told TMZ that Charlie and Denise consider Brooke's alleged plan 'ridiculous' because her brother has 'no real relationship' with the twins, and a move would mean unnecessarily uprooting their lives.

A judge agreed and denied the request late Friday.

A source told RadarOnline: 'There was no second guessing from the judge, Brooke’s request was shot down.

'The twins will be staying with Denise Richards for the foreseeable future.

'Bob and Max won’t be going out to Palm Springs to see her at the Betty Ford Clinic on Mother’s Day, nor will her brother get temporary custody of them.

'Bob and Max are flourishing under the care of Denise, and the judge saw no reason to change that.'

'The boys are thriving in Denise's house, and since Charlie lives in the same gated community, he has been spending more time with them.'

Bob and Max, four, have been with 42-year-old Richards since they were removed from Brooke's care last week by officials who allegedly found them living in shocking conditions.

Brooke checked into the UCLA Medical Center on Sunday for short-term rehab and her lawyers appeared on her behalf in court on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services removed the boys after finding them in an 'unsafe environment' related to their mother's suspected drug use.

The hearing came as reports emerged of shocking conditions within the home Mueller shared with her sons.

According to TMZ, the judge scrutinised a report on the state of the home before ruling that the boys should stay in Richards' care.

The boys attended the court hearing on Tuesday, before heading back home with Richards.

They won't be returned to Mueller's care until authorities feel they are in a safe environment.

DESPITE CHARLIE' SO CALLED MONUMENTAL TEMPER I THINK DENISE WOULD SOON GET HIM SORTED OUT IF THERE WAS ANY TROUBLE! FAR SAFER THAN WITH THEIR UNSTABLE MOTHER!

I can only really echo what others have said - Brooke really had no grounds for asking her boys to be taken away from Denise. They are with their biological half sisters and in a stable environment. Denise seems more than capable of helping Charlie keep himself "in order" around the children. They really are in the most positive place they could be at the moment. As others have said, this is a far more preferable environment to them being placed with strangers possibly.

She should concentrate on providing a safe and loving home for her children - and if she can't do that, then accept they are better off living away from her. At least with Denise they are living with their half-sisters, are close to their Dad and their normal lives. Am sure she loves the boys, and they love her, however she obviously loves drugs even more. Get a grip Brooke and sort yourself out.

There is no better place than with Denise and her dad...and his sisters. She loves them, and this is just some excuse to get back at Charlie or whatever. I do feel for these kids, as she has been to Rehab so many times and each time she has to uproot the kids. They need stability. Plus, being with other siblings is such a wonderful thing and it strengthens their long-term relationship, which they really need.

These poor children - shunted back and forth from a troubled home to a loving home. I know where I think they should permanently live..... Why doesn't the judge?

Her parental rights should be terminated! She is clearly unfit for parenthood and has blown all the chances she has been given.

What a selfish woman. If she cared so much for her kids she would have been cleaned long time ago. Let those boys with Denise who clearly loves them and wants their best, contrary to their pathetic biological parents.

I think Denise and her father can handle CS perfectly well! Her argument falls at the first hurdle. She sounds like a control freak that doesn't have her children's best interests at heart. She is full of narcissistic rage about a situation she has brought on herself. The children should stay with their sisters and Denise.

I believe addiction is an illness. And for that Brooke deserves support and love while battling that illness. However, she also appears to be a spoiled, self-serving, entitled woman, whose parents did her no favors. She now shows no class nor self-awareness at the complete detriment to her innocent children. Isn't it time for her wealthy family to cut her off and stop financially feeding these attempts of denial and make her accountable for once??
