Michael Lohan Takes Dina Lohan Back to Court

Michael Lohan has done whatever he can to correct the mistakes that led to his incarceration, and divorce, but Dina Lohan still won’t let him see the kids much if at all, so he is taking her back to court. Rush and Molly report:

Michael Lohan has filed papers in Nassau County to reopen his divorce from Dina Lohan, whose E! reality show "Living Lohan," about her attempt to launch yet another child into show business, debuts Monday night.

He wants to see more of his two minor kids, Ali, 14 and Cody, 11, and she’s reneging on the deal they made when they split, Lohan tells us. It’s up to their two adult children, notorious actress Lindsay, 21, and actor Michael, 20, to visit him on their own.

"I gave her the house, the furniture, the dogs, the bank accounts, the $200,000 she owed me, just to see my kids," he said. "She doesn’t bring them to see me. I haven’t seen my kids in two months. She brought them to Vegas for her reality show, then to California. Before that, she missed 15 out of 29 appointments. She breached the contract."

Michael, a former futures trader who became a Christian counselor after doing time for "aggravated" driving and attempted assault, wanted to give his ex just one more chance on Tuesday, when he was supposed to meet his son and daughter in the presence of a therapist. The former beauty queen was a no-show.

"She went to [the] David Letterman [show]," he told us. "She brought Ali. She never showed up or sent the kids. The taping finished before our appointment.

She doesn’t care. She does what she wants."

Dina, a near-6-footer who claims to have once been a Rockette, doesn’t allow Michael to be close with the kids in other ways, he adds. "I got Cody on a lacrosse team, and my girlfriend bought him $650 worth of equipment. Dina doesn’t bring him to games or practices."

Dina did not respond to e-mail or telephone messages. Michael concludes: "If I was a maniac, I could understand it. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I work, I go to the gym, I go home. I just want to see my kids."

The best thing the court could do would be to give Michael custody of the kids. Daddy might not be perfect either, but at least he might exercise more restraint than Dina in pushing the kids in show business.
