Kate Major Lohan was taken into police custody after she reportedly got into an alcohol-fuelled altercation with Michael Lohan at their home in Palm Beach, Florida.

But the 'Mean Girls' star's father blames her mother and his ex-wife, Dina Lohan, for the dispute because she is suing him for $16,000 in back child support payments.

He told gossip website TMZ.com: "At the end of the day, this is all because of what Dina is doing in court ... It affects Kate too, and like anyone with a drug or alcohol problem, when they can't handle the stress, they resort to drinking."

The 54-year-old reality TV star recently had his passport revoked and his driving licence suspended after a judge ordered him to write a cheque for Dina, with whom he also has three other children, Michael Jr., 27, singer-and-actress Ali, 21, and 18-year-old Cody.

Michael called the police after Kate allegedly came home drunk and struck him.

According to the police report, Kate was visibly intoxicated when officers arrived at the scene and admitted she had been drinking.

The blonde beauty, who has two sons, Landon, two, and Logan, four months, with Michael, was released on Friday morning (17.04.15).
