The Duff's Dad Sent to the Slammer

Hilary Duff's dad will be spending up to ten days in jail -- all because of a fight over cash for Hilary's birthday party.

According to Houston Chronicle, mama Duff dragged her ex into court today -- and this is no joke -- to ask for $25,000 to throw a party for Hilary's 21st birthday -- because that's what they spent on Haylie's 21st bday two years ago.

After the judge told Bob he had to shell out $12,500 for the bash -- he decided to sentence Bob to 10 days in jail for contempt of court for selling assets without court approval to the tune of $367,537.

When Bob was cuffed, mama Duff supposedly mumbled "This isn't what I wanted." Apparently all she wanted was a whole lot of money -- something her kids have already made themselves.

16. What a waste of money-- to spend so much for a birthday party.. Hilary, you could donate that much for a worthy cause. There's alot out there... LIKE MONEY TO BUILD HOMELESS SHELTERS TO HELP THE DOWN AND OUT HELP THEMSELFVES TO SELF SUFFICIENCY.. MONEY FOR FOOD FOR THE POOR, ETC. What a spoiled individual she is; and so is her sister...

18. You people beat all I have ever stepped in. You bash Billy Ray cause he is close to his daughter and is a father to her and then you bash Duff because he is not close to his daughter.You people just want to bitch. Does this mean Duff will miss the birthday party cause he is in jail?They should give the girl a cake and a gift certificate from Wal-Mart and get on with it.

19. pay for there OWN birthday party? how lame! we're in America, not a 3rd world country (no offense)

She means no offense to the starving children who let bugs eat them, yet they have no food. She doesn't want to offend anyone in a "third world country".....but can she name even one?

23. Ugh. Money makes people sick, sick, sick. No wonder the world hates Americans! We're so spoiled when it comes to wanting EVERYTHING...now! Have any of these people noticed that we're in a recession and our economy is in the dumper? It doesn't matter that they have loads of money in the bank. I wish our nation would go back to the ideals of the world war 2 era. Those people knew how to work together and save their money for things that actually mattered.

24. If you would read the rest of the artical, it is quite ovious Marital assets were involved in this little trip to court. I am quite certain that the paps only elected to tell us the small part of the court battle, which was about the party money.

25. This is further evidence for my assertion that people need to have a license to have children in this country. This is a disgrace to good parents, to the judicial system and to the state of our nation.

26. Not even sure why Hilary Duff is famous...what does she do, exactly?

27. when I was separated and then divorced, I threw small birthday parties for my son
they were small because they were within my financial means at the time
I didn't ask my x to contribute

so I wonder if the mom is throwing one that isn't within her means and demanding the dad kick in his half without consulting him on the party, amount of guests and the costs involved. If so then it isn't right. If she expects to share the cost with him she should share the planning so it is within the amount of money that he also is able or willing to spend.

It's the children that are millionaires-not the parents
maybe he has some convenience stores but it's like a recession right now so that doesn't mean much and with mom-is she working (meaning not overpaid by her kids for some more or less made-up position) and when she first went to California was she living off hubby's money while she lived there and drove her girls were running to auditions?

fame is a crap-shoot in some ways-he could have easily gone broke supporting them out there before they were able to get jobs and fame

mom owes him a bit of respect if only for that and taking him to court doesn't show any!
sadly she got more than she bargained for and now he has to pay an even larger price!
