Celebrity Justice
Judge Blasts Lindsay's Dad -- Get a Job!

While their daughter Lindsay waits to hear the music on her latest DUI arrest, Michael and Dina Lohan made plenty of noise this morning in their divorce battle in a Long Island courtroom.
Lohans
Judge Robert A. Ross ordered Michael to pay Dina $500 a week in child support for the next two weeks, and excoriated him for not being able to tell him how he's been getting by since he got out of jail. What's more, the judge demanded that in two weeks' time, Michael must show some proof that he's working toward getting work.

One topic that went completely unmentioned in court: Lindsay herself. Both Dina and Michael were tight-lipped about her, but Michael did tell TMZ that he thought a letter -- blaming him for being an absentee father, and purportedly written by his 13-year-old daughter, Ali -- was "written by someone else."

The Litigious Lohan Clan will be back in court in Long Island on Monday for more divorce proceedings. TMZ will be there!

61. Wow!! posters 1-15, what is this , smart people who see the whole picture posting on TMZ.
I love Hahhaha's post best of all.

BOTH, DINA AND MICHEAL ARE SORRY EXCUSES FOR PARENTS!!

Micheal needs a job. Dina needs a job too. Micheal should pay child support for the two underage kids. He should also have Dina's laywers present for visitation. HE should be granted some weekly hours to be and rebond with those kids.

Ali did not write that letter via emali alone...somebody helped her, ohh, DINA!!!! If not Dina, then Kim Basinger and Pamela Bach must have wrtitten it for this kid because she did not write and email this alone. What kind of mother would let her kid write that and give it to the media!! Themedia is not a friend. The media is a business and LOVES celeb troubles.They are laughing at the Lohans all the way to the bank.

BOTH OF THESE PEOPLE NEED FAMILY THERAPY and WITH THEIR KIDS. Sad.

62. Have you no shame parents? Good Grief....the damage has been done, how can they even show their faces in public, much less add to the spectacle that their family has become? I feel very sorry for the kids still in Dina's care. The parents are both twisted individuals.

66. It's my understanding that for several years before he went to jail, Michael Lohan's income was from the percentage of Lindsay's income that he took as her manager or agent or some other similar alleged role. I assume that gravy train screeched to a halt either before or when he went to jail. He hasn't been out all that long. His lawyers, PR people, etc. may have agreed to wait for their $ until the divorce settles and he gets his percentage of the house and any other money the couple had. And he may be in litigation with Dina and/or Lindsay over what he claims are management/agent fees due him. Therefore, he may have future assets, but nothing liquid right now.

As to the child support, I know this judge a bit professionally, from both before he became a judge and since he has been a judge. He does not stand for nonsense and he does try to find fair solutions on the child support issue. But the fact remains, Dina probably earns more than him and he probably doesn't and can't earn much. Therefore, the equivalent of over $2,000.00 per month in child support, which means the judge must think he is capable of earning over $100,000.00 per year is questionable. Remember, aside from the guy being a convicted criminal (which is his fault and no one elses's...) he probably hasn't earned meaningful money other than through Lindsay, for years and years.

Should be interesting to watch...

67. The judge needs to say the same thing to LiLo's mother.

68. Truthfully, I think the little Sister (Ali) is much prettier then Lindsay. Hopefully she will learn from her big sister's mistakes and break away from the whole mess.

69. Michael Lohan publicy (on "Larry King") to Harvey Levin that he worked for the same rehab center he attended, didn't he?

And, while I'm at it, I thought it was very cheesy of FOXNews, on " Hannity and Colmes" to superimpose a little picture of Lindsay Lohan that changed ever few seconds to read "LoBLOW" on Michael Lohan's jacket.

70. They both need to grow the hell up and act like adults intstead of spoiled brats their kids are paying for.

71. This entire family needs to DISAPEAR-!!!!!!!!!!!

72. It's easy to blame others for your own mistakes. But they should not put words in the younger girls mouth to trash her Dad. Shame on the mother for this.
LiLo did all this on her own, too bad that someone doesn't bitch slap the dumb ass.
Daddy paid his dues in jail,and maybe he is trying to help her because he knows where she is headed. 6 feet under,she is already brain dead.
Mommy has probably not seen a sober day in years. If you can't smell the booze kids, then it is drugs. She is like a wannabe, and probably sleaze around for a snort, a hit, or a pill.

73. Wow TMZ. "Excoriated"? That's an awfully big, fancy schmancy word for you guys. Do you have a highly over-qualified temp filling in today or did Harvey finally spring for a thesaurus?

74. You would think that these incompetent "parents" would have learnt by now maybe they should just try and get along for the sake of their 2 younger children after all look how lindsay turned out, they are both so childish and complete morons neithe of them should have custoduy of those 2 kids

75. At least Mr Lohan is a Christian who is working to help others better themselves, what is Dina doing? Oh that's right, partying with underage people. I guess Ali is next. How soon until she is drinking with her Mom.
