Hilary Duff’s parents were in court this week and the divorce trial got so heated that Hilary’s father Bob was led out in handcuffs to the gasps of Hilary’s mom, Susan.

At the hearing, Susan took the stand to ask for $25,000 to fund a present and party for Hilary’s 21st birthday, which is Sept. 28. It’s the same sum she and her husband spent on a ring and a party for Haylie when she turned 21 a few years ago, she said.

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.

Stansbury eventually ordered Bob to pay $12,500 to Susan for Hilary’s birthday.(CHRON)

It’s always sad to see a family torn apart by divorce. Not only is it a strain on the parent’s emotional health, but the children…wait. Everyone involved in this case is a fucking millionaire. So fuck them. And fuck their million dollar attorneys, too. When my parents got divorced all my dad left my mom was a black eye and empty space where our mobile home used to sit. The court issued my mom an SOL order (shit outta luck) and told her to suck it up. But looking back I guess I should have really pushed for the $25K on my birthday. Maybe then it wouldn’t have been all my fault like mommy said. In my defense I did tell dad he could do much better and he should think about taking a mistress. What was up with the giant curlers and sweat pants 24/7, mom? Jesus. Oh, and when did Hilary Duff get smokin’ hot?
