Denise Richards' estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, claims she is behind on court-ordered support payments and money owed to his lawyers … and now he wants her found in contempt ... TMZ has learned.

Aaron filed court docs, obtained by TMZ, asking for Denise to be held in contempt after he says she failed to pay in full the $5K he's owed each month in temporary spousal support and the $30K she owes to his attorneys per a previous order in the case. 

Since March, he claims she's only paid partial amounts and still owes $13,500 to him and $28,000 to his attorneys -- leaving a total balance of $41,500.

In his filing, Aaron said despite Denise having enough income to cover the support, she has failed to do so. There is a hearing set for September 14 to address the matter.

At one point in the divorce, Aaron claimed Denise was earning over $250K a month from OnlyFans and reality show gigs.

Denise has yet to respond to the most recent claims.

As TMZ first reported, Aaron filed for divorce in July 2025, demanding support. Denise responded by requesting a restraining order due to Aaron's alleged abuse. Aaron denied the claims. Denise was granted a permanent restraining order against her Aaron, but the divorce remains ongoing.
