Friday, February 27, 2026 - American actress, Denise Richards has been ordered to pay temporary spousal support to her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, as their contentious divorce proceedings continue.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a judge ruled
on Wednesday, February 25, that Richards must pay Phypers $5,000 per month in
temporary spousal support. The payments are due on the fifth of each month
beginning March 5 and will continue until further order of the court.
In addition to monthly support, the court directed Richards
to cover $25,000 in attorney’s fees for Phypers, along with an additional
$5,000 that may be used to retain a forensic accountant. The $30,000 total is
to be paid in three instalments of $10,000 at the end of March, April and May.
The ruling follows Phypers’ October 2025 request for spousal
support. Both parties reportedly testified under oath before the judge issued
the decision.
The divorce between the former “Real Housewives of Beverly
Hills” star and Phypers has been marked by disputes over finances, income and
business dealings. Legal costs have become a central point of contention, with
both sides accusing each other over responsibility for mounting expenses. The
case remains ongoing.
