Hilary Duff’s 21st Birthday Bash Contested in Court

Whether or not the father of actress Hilary Duff should pay $25,000 for her 21st birthday party was the subject of a court hearing in Texas yesterday from which her father was removed in handcuffs.

After a tense hearing in the bitter divorce case that also featured acrimony between opposing attorneys, Harris County Judge Thomas Stansbury ordered Bob Duff to pay $12,500 for the party, reports the Houston Chronicle.

He also held Bob Duff in contempt and sentenced him to a 10-day jail term, for violating a order that prohibited him from selling assets without court permission.
