Denise Richards and her estranged husband Aaron Phypers faced off again in court this week as their bitter divorce continues. During Monday’s hearing, Denise secured a key victory when the judge agreed to seal sensitive documents related to the case.

This ruling comes amid ongoing disputes over spousal support, with Denise previously ordered to pay Aaron $5,000 monthly despite her claims of financial strain. The court’s decision to protect private information marks a significant moment in the high-profile divorce saga.

In a tense hearing, Denise Richards argued for the confidentiality of certain documents, citing the sensitive nature of the information. After hearing testimony, the judge sided with Denise, granting her request to keep these materials sealed from public view.

Spousal Support Dispute Highlights Financial Tensions

The divorce battle has been marked by disagreements over finances. Aaron Phypers, who filed for divorce in July, claimed he had no income and sought spousal support from Denise, alleging she earns over $250,000 monthly from OnlyFans, brand endorsements, TV roles, and appearances.

Despite Denise’s request for support from Aaron, the court ordered her to pay $5,000 per month instead. Reports indicate Denise expressed frustration over the order, stating, “I can’t afford it.”
