Lindsay Lohan's Parents Settle Divorce

Judge Praises Dina & Michael Lohan For "Extraordinarily Good Judgment"

(AP)  Lindsay Lohan's estranged parents settled their long-simmering divorce Friday, winning praise from the judge who presided over their case.

"You have both demonstrated to me extraordinarily good judgment in resolving this matter as you did," state Supreme Court Justice Robert A. Ross told Michael and Dina Lohan.

Terms of the divorce agreement, which will become official within 60 days, weren't disclosed. Dina Lohan has custody of the couple's two minor children, Aliana, 13, and Dakota, 10.

Neither Lindsay, 21, nor her brother Michael, 19, were involved in the divorce proceedings since they are no longer minors.

"I wish Dina the best and I hope we can both move forward and put our best foot forward for the kids' sake and just be good parents," Lohan told reporters outside the courthouse.

Dina Lohan said, "Now the healing process can begin for my children and myself."

She said Lindsay, who was arrested last month in Santa Monica, Calif., on suspicion of driving under the influence and cocaine possession, is doing "fantastic."

The "Mean Girls" star faces an Aug. 24 court date in connection with that arrest.

Lindsay has been the subject of intense speculation since her arrest, which came just two weeks after she was released from her second stint in rehab this year. Various reports have placed her in a rehab facility in Utah, but no one is talking on the record.

The Lohans were close to an agreement on a divorce settlement in 2005, but that deal collapsed while Michael was serving a prison term for drunken driving, brawling and other charges.

He was released in March and entered a Christian-based drug and rehabilitation center in West Babylon. He has repeatedly said Lindsay needs the same kind of treatment.

These two (and their daughter) are a waste of space on whatever coast they are fighting/drugging/divorcing/drinking/passing out or whatever the disaster de jour for them is. Pathetic examples of parents, parenting and responsibility. They all deserve each other and what they get out of it.

I love that the judge patted them both on the head and said "good boy - good girl" He should have booted both of them in the rear and told them just exactly it was who screwed up their daughter so badly - Mom, Dad - take a look in the mirror...
