Hilary Duff's Parents' Battle Ends With Dad in Jail

Hilary Duff looked casual in sneakers around LA yesterday with a smile on her face, despite some trouble with her family. Hilary's parents are divorcing, and her mother Susan brought her father Bob in for a hearing in Houston yesterday where he ended up being sentenced to 10 days in jail for contempt of court. Susan was there to request $25,000 for Hilary's 21st birthday in September, saying it's how much Haylie received. Susan also said the $10,000 per month she gets isn't enough and she ends up asking Hilary for money. The girls' mom was awarded $12,500, and the sentence was regarding a separate issue of selling assets without court approval. There always seems to be lots of drama in the families of the teen starlets, but thankfully Hilary seems to have found a way to keep a good head on her shoulders through it all.

    $25,000 for a birthday? That's ridiculous. Besides Haily needs the money more than Hill since she is the ugly sister and doesn't actually have a career.

    Oh, but what I REALLY mean is the children are adults, they shouldn't come into play in this divorce settlement. Especially since they're clearly able to support themselves.

    these celeb parents need to correct their skewed version of reality- they get used to living the celeb lifestyle and they forget they aren't the actual celeb. i mean 10k a month is not enough to live on? gimme a break- i know plenty of people, myself included, that would kill to receive 10k a month to live on. especially since her mom does not support her children, they are self sufficient! its all ridiculous!

    How can you not live on $10,000 a month? That is crazy! I would love to have that much a month. I wouldn't have to work and i could pay off my mortgage a heck of a lot quicker!

    I see both sides of this. On the one hand, yeah, 10,000 should be enough. BUT, if they spent 25000 as a gift for Hailey's birthday, I understand why her Mom would feel Hil deserves the same, whether she can afford it or not isn't the point.

    He SHOULDN'T have to pay all of it by any means, that's why there are TWO parents. He SHOULD have just offered it though, she never should have had to take him to court over it. If she had called and said "You know, Hil's 21st is coming fast. I need your half" he should have owned up and paid it without getting the courts involved. Of course, maybe she didn't give him that chance, who knows.

    It's just sad all around no matter which way you slice it.

    10K a month. Can I have 10K for just one month? I could pay off my car and then some.

    Why is she getting money for the girls' birthdays anyway? I don't get it.

    I can live on $10K a month and I have three small children to support. She's apparently single and her kids are grown, she can bite me.

    Sounds like the mom has a raging coke habit if she can't live on $10k/month.

    i think that it's hard for celebukids to be faced with their parents nonsense and to have it out in the open. i'm sure that the Duffs would have preferred to keep it quiet but i guess we can't have everything right?

    i hope that it all gets sorted out since these girls are a dying breed that they've managed to stay normal.

    I'm with you Greggie; why does she get money for her daughters birthdays??! Like it's a reward they are adults now so she gets paid since they aren't taking her money anymore? It doesn't make sense!

    What the heck do you need $10k a month for if you can't earn it yourself and has to ask your daughter for money? Gee! These celebrity parents need to get a job and stop being a bunch of leeches.

    Hilary, cut back on your mom's "allowance" immediately!! She's draining your hard-earned money for stupid things.

    I love Hilary, it's interesting that Hils and Lindsay Lohan were both Disney starlets and they took totally different paths. I have to admit, though, that Lindsay is a bit more talented.

    $10K a month should be enough for Hilary's mom. My dad makes about the same amount every month and that is more than enough to support himself and his three daughters (including me), and we live in an expensive area as well.

    To be honest, I know that Hilary is a celebrity, so therefore, unfortunately literally EVERYTHING gets put out in to the public eye, but why is this anyone's business other than their family's...

    So what if Susan wants $10k... It is nobody else's business!

    Hilary is a very dignified and hard working girl, and she is always being scrutinised... This is her family, so it is like she is being again... Leave her and her family alone! They deserve just as much privacy as any other human being is entitled to!

    Hilary until the day I die and longer! =D

    She is one of the few celebrities that I actually admire. You never see her getting uncontrollably drunk and she does a really good job with keeping most of her personal life underwraps. I give her kudos!
