On the morning of September 9, actress Lan Phuong carried her 18-month-old daughter Mia alone to the Hanoi People's Court to attend the first instance trial of the divorce case between her and her Western husband.

Sharing with VietNamNet, actress Lan Phuong said she unilaterally filed for divorce from her British husband David Duffy in May. The court session opened at 8:30 a.m. on September 9, so the actress from the movie "Love on a Sunny Day" arrived at the Hanoi People's Court early. She kept a cheerful demeanor, went bare-faced, dressed simply, and carried her daughter Mia to court with her. Because the baby was sick, Lan Phuong was forced to bring her along.

However, her husband was not present at the trial. The judge then announced the postponement of the first instance trial of Lan Phuong's divorce case with her husband Tay because the defendant, David Duffy, was not present and had filed a request for postponement. The court secretary asked Lan Phuong to stay to receive the decision to postpone the trial to September 17.

Previously, the actress informed VietNamNet about David Duffy's announcement to postpone the trial from the afternoon of September 8. Therefore, Lan Phuong was not surprised by the judge's announcement about her Western husband's absence and only needed to be present for the court clerk to record.

"According to the regulations, I had an appointment so I went to court. When I went, the court officially announced a postponement and decided to hold the trial for another day," Lan Phuong shared with VietNamNet. She said that David's request to postpone the trial made her a bit tired because the actress had anticipated the incident.
