Hilary Duff's father has been jailed for contempt of court, it has been reported.
Robert Duff was reportedly arrested yesterday and sent by a judge to a Texas county jail for allegedly violating an injunction by selling assets without court approval. He must pay the $368,000 he earned from the sale into a court fund and serve 10 days in jail.
The arrest came following an earlier dispute between the singer's parents over her birthday party. Robert and Susan appeared in court after Susan requested $25,000 to spend on presents and a party for Hilary's 21st birthday next month, the same sum she claims they spent on elder daughter Haylie's 21st in 2006.
Robert was ordered to pay $12,500 to Susan for Hilary's birthday, before being arrested for contempt of court. His lawyer says he plans to appeal.
