In a statement at the time, Dina's lawyer said in a statement, "Dina Lohan is a good person. Her life has been dedicated to her four children. "She has worked hard her entire life and she has been a 'parent trapped' with the entire world watching her in a fishbowl with murky water due to not fault of her own," he added, referencing the Disney remake that made her daughter famous.
The news comes as Lindsay, 27, is attempting to turn her life around. She is currently starring in her own docu-series on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network, charting her attempts to stay sober and get her acting career back on track.
