The hearing was closed so it’s not clear how much Michael was in arrears, but Lohan told RadarOnline.com exclusively that reports calling him a “deadbeat dad” are way off.

“The numbers are wrong and so are the facts,” he said on Tuesday. “Dina will even state that I am not deadbeat. As Dina and our attorneys will confirm, Dina and I mediated the support issue and resolved it on our own. After a dispute over what was paid through the “system” and what was paid otherwise, I agree that money is owed and we settled. Dina even stated that I am a good father and I did provide my children with what they needed outside the ‘system.’ We left on good terms. I know that only good things will follow.”

Michael continued, “I am sorry it came to this, but to be honest, I was a little arrogant about this in the beginning because of the situation with Lindsay. I regret it and will never do it to Dina or my children again.”

Is Lohan really turning a new leaf? He tells RadarOnline.com that he’s even considering handling his personal business outside the media glare.
“As far back as the beginning of our divorce, I wanted to sit face to face and mediate things,” he said. “When we did, it was all resolved amicably. I hope people learn from this and see that things can be worked out on our own, without making matters worse. I knew there was a reason I married Dina. Not only because we were blessed with our children, but because she is a good woman at heart “

He gets his money by ridding on every single coat tail around. He bad mouths everyone and sells it to this tabloid.. ROL pays this tool for EVERY lie he can come up with. He will soon sue Kate Minor for some reason.

He gets his income from bad mouthing Lindsay! He exploits Lindsay so he can pay child support for his other kids! It's also a matter of public record that he is a deadbeat dad!

So, where exactly will he get the money? " I agreed that $$$ was owed and we settled". Re-word it all you want ML, but as you said $$$ was owed and you did not keep up with your financial responsibility. So starting when will this be kept private?
