Hilary Duff's father has been jailed for up to ten days after a bitter court argument with his estranged wife over their famous daughter's 21st birthday party.
Susan and Bob Duff are currently in the middle of a two and a half year divorce battle.
The hearing in Houston, Texas on Wednesday was brought so Susan could request $25,000 from her husband to pay for their actress/singer daughter's celebration in September.
The judge ordered Duff to pay his estranged wife half that amount for the party, but after examining Duff's finances he also determined that he had violated an injunction by selling assets without court approval - and without the consent of his spouse.
Duff was ordered to pay the $367,537 he earned from selling stocks in July into a court repository and spend 10 days in jail for contempt of court.
Bob Duff's attorney Robert Piro said his client would post a bond and file an appeal against the sentence.
