Lindsay Lohan's estranged parents settled their long-simmering divorce
and custody dispute 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.
Outside the courthouse, Michael Lohan said he was looking forward to
seeing the children again, though it wasn't disclosed when or under what
circumstances he might do so.
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.
