Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller’s divorce is ON. Now that Charlie’s assault case is essentially over in Aspen, they can move forward with the real business at hand – divorce. Neither wanted a divorce to mull up his criminal case, so they held off until now.

More pictures of Brooke after the rehab…

Behind the scenes, Brooke and Charlie were quietly splitting things up and hashing out a deal.

As we first reported back in June, Charlie and Brooke have signed divorce docs spelling out who gets what when their marriage ends.

Sources say they were holding off until Charlie’s Aspen assault case was over, fearing a divorce would give prosecutors ammo in the case.

We’re told almost from the beginning, Brooke has always wanted nothing to do with the case. And now that the case is over, we’re told divorce docs will soon follow.

I wonder why she didn’t want anything to do with this case….was she really threatened? Brooke will probably be able to walk away with a big chunk of change…if she can stay sober. Do you think she’ll keep clean now?
