Denise Richards Faces Legal Heat As Divorce Drama With Aaron Phypers Intensifies

Denise Richards in Contempt? New Legal Drama Unfolds

Denise Richards' divorce saga with her estranged husband Aaron Phypers just turned up the drama dial. Phypers is taking legal action, pushing the court to hold Richards in contempt over claims she's skipping out on financial duties.

According to insiders at TMZ, Phypers filed paperwork alleging that Richards hasn't been covering the temporary spousal support and fees owed to his attorney. The court had previously ordered Richards to shell out $5,000 a month in temporary support and cover $30,000 in lawyer fees. But Phypers insists that since March, Richards has only made partial payments, leaving a tab of $41,500 still hanging.

Phypers’ Claims and the Court Hearing

Phypers argues that Richards is more than capable of honoring the financial commitments, citing her substantial income from various ventures, including a lucrative OnlyFans account and multiple reality TV gigs. The looming court date for his contempt plea is set for September 14, where things might just get more heated.

“Denise is earning over $250,000 a month, yet the payments just aren’t being made,” a close source revealed.

This legal spat is just one chapter in the couple's contentious split. Phypers filed for divorce back in July 2025, demanding financial support as part of the proceedings. On the flip side, Richards obtained a permanent restraining order against Phypers amid abuse allegations, which he outright denied.

Unresolved Affairs and Future Proceedings

The divorce proceedings continue to be a hotbed of unresolved issues, with both parties still battling it out in court over financial disputes and legal claims. Richards remains tight-lipped publicly about the latest accusations surrounding unpaid support.

As the legal drama unfolds, all eyes are on the upcoming hearing, which could prove pivotal in resolving the ongoing financial tug-of-war between the former couple. Stay tuned as we keep you posted on this evolving Hollywood headline.
