Denise Richards' Legal Woes Deepen

Denise Richards, the glamorous star known for her roles in Hollywood and reality TV, finds herself embroiled in a legal skirmish with her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers. The tension between the former couple has escalated, with Aaron filing court documents claiming Denise is behind on significant payments. According to Aaron, Denise owes $5,000 monthly in temporary spousal support and $30,000 in attorney fees, as previously ordered by the court.

Aaron's Claims of Unpaid Support

In the latest twist of this ongoing drama, Aaron alleges that Denise has been making only partial payments since March. He claims she still owes a hefty sum of $13,500 for spousal support and an additional $28,000 to his attorneys. This leaves a looming total debt of $41,500.

“Despite having enough income to cover the support, Denise has failed to do so,” Aaron stated in his filing, highlighting her substantial earnings from platforms like OnlyFans and reality TV shows.

The Court Battle Continues

A court hearing is set for September 14, where these financial disputes will be addressed. Aaron's legal team is pushing for Denise to be held in contempt, a serious move that underscores the depth of their financial disagreements.

While Denise has yet to publicly respond to these allegations, the situation adds another chapter to their high-profile split. With Aaron previously claiming Denise earned over $250,000 monthly, all eyes will be on the upcoming hearing to see how this financial saga unfolds.
