Michael Lohan is now back in LA and ready to face the judge tomorrow at Lindsay's DUI hearing. Will his 23-year-old daughter be there to avoid a bench warrant? Michael says, "I hope so."

Papa Lohan tells X17online that he and Dina had a lengthy meeting to discuss Lindsay's future ... and even hugged when it was all over. "Dina's on board," Lohan tells X17online.

Michael says Lindsay doesn't need jail, but instead needs to go to rehab because "he's been there and there's no rehabilitating in jail." Aside from the court drama, Lohan also talks about Lilo's rumored lesbian love, photographer/reality television star Indrani. Just for the record, Lindsay has denied this relationship.

As for Lindsay's young sis Ali, Lohan tells us, "She's a little pissed at me."
