LOHANS WANT MICHAEL TO FOCUS ON HIS OWN FAMILY, NOT JON GOSSELINAs Michael Lohan emerges as a new advisor to Jon Gosselin on personal matters – and increasingly, on professional matters, too – sources tell PEOPLE that the Lohans wish he'd focus on his own family and pay the six-months' back child support they say he owes – a debt Michael disputes.
Furthermore, daughter Lindsay, a source reveals, is not currently on speaking terms with her father.
"It's embarrassing, he's embarrassing," says a Lohan insider, suggesting Michael focus on his own parental responsibilities, not those of Jon Gosselin. "He's trying to get deals for Jon. Maybe Jon can tell Michael to pay [ex-wife] Dina child support. He's now six months behind." Six Months BehindA second Lohan source confirms what Dina is owed: "Michael is six months behind in child support. Over $12,000 is due, and it's in the hands of collections now." (While Lindsay is 23 and her brother Michael is 21, Ali, 15, and Dakota, 13, are minors.)
Michael Lohan, however, denies the debt. "That's a total lie. I pay Dina and the kids cash all the time," he tells PEOPLE. "This is being generated from Dina, because she sees all the press about Jon Gosselin and I being together. Dina loves the headlines and hates when anyone else takes her spotlight."
He adds, "This is typical of what Jon and I discussed about spouses being vindictive and destroying a relationship between a father and their children."
Strictly FinancialThe source also maintains that Michael's intentions are strictly financial: "He's trying to manage Jon Gosselin, and make money from him. It's gross. It's all about money."
As for Michael's turbulent relationship with his famous daughter, the source confirms their relationship remains fractured, and the Gosselin publicity isn't helping since Lindsay would prefer a more low-key father: "Lindsay's still not speaking to him." A rep for Lindsay had no comment.
And in regards to Michael offering marital advice to the Gosselins, another source, says, laughing, "Michael's giving advice about marriage, and about parenting? It's absurd."
