Lindsay Lohan: Dad Wants Cut Of
Her Money
MINEOLA (Long Island, US):
Actress -singer
Lindsay Lohan's dad wants a cut of her money.
Michael Lohan's wife, Dina, filed for divorce. In response, Lohan is asking
for half of the 15 percent his daughter pays her mom.
The attorney for Michael Lohan said the figure could be as much as $6
million to $7 million per year.
Michael Lohan also said he wants Dina Lohan and other members of her family
to undergo drug and alcohol testing and claimed that despite past problems
with substance abuse, he is currently clean and sober.
His attorney, Dominic Barbara, told a news conference Wednesday that Michael
Lohan "loves his children, he doesn't want to hurt Lindsay in any way." He
contended his client is entitled to half of the earnings the actress-singer
gives to her mother.
Lindsay Lohan recently released her debut album, "Speak," and has starred in
"Parent Trap," "Mean Girls," "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" and
"Freaky Friday."
Barbara said he also represents Michael Lohan in a number of criminal
prosecutions.
He is due in court in Suffolk County next week to answer charges from last
summer that he allegedly skipped out on a $3,800 bill for several suites at
a posh Long Island hotel.
He also was charged with
assault in Manhattan for allegedly swearing at a sanitation worker whose
truck was blocking his car and punching him in the face.
A spokesman for Dina Lohan said, "There's no point in dignifying the desires
of a convicted felon who the court has already demanded stay away from his
wife and children."●
