Michael Lohan says he plans to reopen his divorce against his ex-wife Dina, claiming that she has made it "hard as hell" for him to see their three children.

"I gave her the family house, all the furniture and the $200,000 she owed me just so that I could see my kids and have a relationship with them," Michael tells New York's Daily News.

He says Lindsay's grandparents also haven't seen their granddaughter "even though my father is dying, and my mother was in a car accident on Easter.

"[Dina] told me, 'It's up to the kids if they want to see their grandparents,'" he adds. "But she's made no effort to put them in touch or make this happen."

Michael also says Dina's upcoming E! reality show was — gasp! – his idea.

"It's the exact same show I pitched," he claims. "She even used my title."

On Monday, Michael released a statement to Us Weekly, insisting that "Lindsay has NOTHING to do with me opening my divorce case or any other suits that are being filed against Dina."

He said that "Dina uses people, gets what she wants and then turns her back on them or claims the ideas were hers all along. She thinks the law doesn't apply to her or her family since they always get away with things and use Lindsay's name to do it."
