Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers have reunited but for not for a good reason.
The exes were seen together in court in downtown Los Angeles on Monday morning as they continue to war over money while trying to sort their divorce.
Richards was dressed to the nines as a purple leather mini dress hugged her slender frame while she added black sky high heels that reminded everyone she is a Hollywood bombshell.
Her honey hair was worn down and stick straight as she slipped on black cat-eye sunglasses while a hunky bodyguard stayed by her side.
Phypers wore a fitted blue blazer over a pale blue dress shirt and matching tie with pale gray jeans and brown lace-up shoes as he carried a nylon brief case and wore black sunglasses.
They were not pictured together but had to be in the same courtroom.

‘Richards is attempting to render Aaron homeless.’
Last month Phypers accused Richards of being the ‘abusive’ one in their relationship.
On September 15 Phypers filed a response to her previous claims of domestic violence – which were made in a restraining order in July as she alleged her 52-year-old partner ‘repeatedly abused’ her during their six-year marriage.
According to court documents obtained by People magazine, he has refuted her claims and denied the allegations.
He said in the documents: ‘There is no need for such orders, as I have not abused her and will not abuse her.’
He also alleges that his ex has been ‘frequently’ phoning and messages him and his father.
He claimed: ‘As well as asking other family and friends to ask me to call her so often that it should be considered harassment, demonstrating that she is not afraid of me and that she is the aggressive one.’

Phypers has also claimed the actress has ‘attacked’ and ‘harassed’ him ‘many times’.
Elsewhere in the documents, he referenced an alleged incident on August 3, saying: ‘She barged aggressively and forcefully into other family members’ living spaces, including my brother’s room (which he recorded), violating his privacy rights and looking through his personal property.
‘Denise violently smashed my cell phone, placed it in a trash can buried under bags of trash, and then lied about, claiming she had not taken my phone.’
He has argued against paying expenses caused by the alleged abuse, and insisted he shouldn’t pay spousal support.
He added: ‘She has prevented me from earning income, so she is the only one with income.
‘She should support me.’
The couple married in 2018 in a beachfront ceremony that aired on Bravo during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Phypers, who filed for divorce in July following what has been described as an explosive argument, previously described her allegations of abuse as ‘bogus’.He said over the summer: ‘She’s upset. I publicly dumped her to the world, and she’s mad, so how does she retaliate? File a bogus abuse claim.’
