Singer and actress Hilary Duff's father was released from a Texas jail Thursday, a day after being ordered to spend 10 days there for contempt of court and pay $12,500 to his ex-wife for the star's 21st birthday party and a present.
Bob Duff was found by a Houston judge on Wednesday to have violated an injunction against selling assets without court approval because of his current divorce battle with ex-wife Susan.
Susan was seeking $25,000 to pay for Hilary's party and a present.
Bob, who will also have to pay $367,537 from the improper sale of stocks last months if his appeal is denied, was taken away from the courtroom in handcuffs.
