In January 2007, Kim's ex-husband, Alec Baldwin accused her of breaching a 2004 custody agreement over their daughter, Ireland. Alec alleges Kim failed to tell him she'd be out of town, giving him an opportunity to care for Ireland and she failed to inform him of an injury Ireland suffered which needed medical attention. Court papers allege Basinger has a "pathological need" to distance Ireland from her father. Kim must now answer 12 contempt of court charges, and faces a 60-day jail sentence and $1300 fine if she's found guilty.

Kim pleaded not guilty but, if convicted, she could spend up to two months in jail and receive a $16,000 fine.
