Hilary Duff’s 21st Birthday Party creates a Lawsuit!

• August 28, 2008

Hilary Duff’s 21st Birthday is coming up and it’s created quite a lot of attention, not to mention embarrassment, I’m sure. Divorce without a doubt can get ugly, and the parents of this star are no exception. Chron.com reports:

Susan took the stand to ask for $25,000 to fund a present and party for Hilary’s 21st birthday, which is Sept. 28.

The $10,000 her husband pays her in interim support each month is “not even enough to pay my own bills” and certainly not enough to afford such expensive birthday treats, Susan testified. She said she has to rely on Hilary for financial help to pay her lawyers and other bills.

In his cross-examination, Piro asked Susan if her “adult millionaire daughter” would be upset if she did not receive an expensive gift and party for her birthday.

Susan replied 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.”

Piro asked her where she thought Bob would get the money, and Susan replied he could 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.

When Bob took the stand a few minutes later, Brown asked him if he wanted Hilary to receive a comparable gift to Haylie for her 21st birthday.

“Yes,” Bob replied.

“You’re not mad at Hilary, are you?” Brown asked.

Bob hesitated, and Brown withdrew the question.

Poor Bob, not only is he upset at Hilary, for reasons I’m not sure, he was ordered to pay $12,500 to Susan and spend 10 days in jail. That all sounds fair.. no?
