LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

The battle between Denise Richards and ex-husband Charlie Sheen rages on.

In a surprise move today, Richards and her divorce attorney, Neal Hersh, went into Los Angeles Superior Court for an ex parte hearing.

While Hersh would not disclose the reason for the hearing, he did tell Access Hollywood that it’s a “serious issue involving the children,” referring to Sheen’s and Richards’ daughters, Sam and Lola.

Because the presiding judge was on vacation today, the hearing didn’t happen, but will take place on Monday.

At that time, Richards will be present again because she deems the issue “very important,” said Hersh.

And though Sheen is not required to be at the hearing, Hersh threw down the gauntlet and said the “Two and a Half Men” star should be there if his “kids are important enough” to him.

Hersh, who remained mum on what the “serious issue” was, explained that his client went into court because of “not one” specific incident, but rather because of a “series” of them, which will be revealed when court is in session next week.
