Hilary Duff’s father Bob Duff was sentenced to 10 days in jail after a trial discussing the responsibility as to who will pay for Hilary’s 21st birthday. (His official sentences was for failing to report the sale of assets, not for the birthday party.)
According to news reports Hilary’s mother Susan wants to make sure Hilary gets just as much as her sister Haylie and took Bob to court over it.
All this to the tune of $25,000, according to the Houston Chronicle:
The $10,000 her husband pays her in interim support each month is “not even enough to pay my own bills” She said she has to rely on Hilary for financial help to pay her lawyers and other bills.

In his cross-examination, Susan said that her “adult millionaire daughter” would be upset if she did not receive an expensive gift and party for her birthday. She claims that her daughter “is emotionally upset by the abandonment of her father” and deserves “to have some kind of recognition for a young life well-lived.”

When asked as to where Bob will get money, she said that he would get it from the same place he got money to buy presents for his girlfriend’s sons. “I know he’s a millionaire, and he’s got the funds,” she said.
in the end, the court eventually ordered Bob to pay $12,500 to Susan for Hilary’s birthday.

Is it really important to waste the Judiciary system’s time just to make sure that Hilary Duff’s father gives her an insane birthday present. THERE ARE OTHER MORE PRESSING ISSUES THAN HER BIRTHDAY PARTY!
And to add icing to a very ridiculous cake, Hilary’s mother spent a lot of time crying over the fact that she can’t live on $10,000 a month and has to ask Hilary for money to cover her legal fees.

Here’s a smart move for you, Susan. Why don’t you quit suing your husband over trivial shit and spend your $10,000 on something else, like your life? I know it sounds crazy, but it just might work.
