Lohan's parents have a turbulent history. They married in 1985, separated when she was three, and later reunited.

Lohan's father has been in trouble with the law repeatedly. He was a Wall Street trader and in the late 1980s, around the time of the release of
The Parent Trap, he served a four year sentence for stock fraud. Lohan has said her mother only told her that he was busy working. He went to jail in 1998 for a probation violation, and in 2000 after violating an order of protection to prevent him from seeing his children.

Following one separation when Michael Lohan was not allowed near the children Dina went to live with the children at her parents' because they were afraid to live in their own home. Lohan spoke in 2007 about her younger siblings: "I feel like a second parent in the sense that I helped raise my family." And speaking about her parents' conflicts: "I was put between my mother and father a lot. Well, I would put myself between them to try and keep the peace, and I felt good doing that."

In December 2005, Michael and Dina Lohan signed a separation agreement. According to Vanity Fair, Dina Lohan accused Michael of threats and domestic abuse in the legal papers. Michael Lohan in turn insinuated through the media that Dina had been drinking and doing drugs, possibly together with Lindsay. In 2007, Lohan's parents announced that their divorce proceedings had been finalized.

Despite the conflicts, Lohan calls herself "a family girl" and has spoken very fondly of her family, including her father. However, in 2007 and again in 2008 she stated that she is no longer in contact with him, describing his unpredictable behavior as hard to deal with.
