It seemed like Lindsay Lohan was doing well for a while. She had a fairly stable relationship, was off drugs and had a few television and film roles. Apparently, it was all too good to last.Lohan's been back to her partying ways the last few months and was due in court on Friday to describe her progress following her 2007 DUI case. (She was arrested for driving under the influence and agreed to a plea bargain that included probation, time in a treatment program and community service.) When Lindsay arrived over an hour and a half late for her hearing on Friday, Judge Marsha N. Revel added another year to her probation sentence.

Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, explained to the judge that Lindsay's "violation of parole" had been a miscommunication. Lindsay apparently failed to notify instructors of her alcohol management class that she attends as part of her probation that she would return to the class after she left the country for work.

Revel understood the miscommunication but warned Lohan, "I ordered you into court today because I wanted to speak to you directly. I don't want to get any more notices again, no warrants . where you're thumbing your nose at the court." Revel ordered Lohan to get court approval prior to leaving Los Angeles again and warned that any future failure to comply with the terms of her probation could lead to jail time. However, she also told the actress, "I'm rooting for you to successfully complete your probation."

While Lohan seems to have gotten off easy, her father, Michael Lohan, thinks there should have been more serious consequences. "I've just gotten off the phone with the judge and I'm not happy," he told RadarOnline.com on Saturday. "She needs to put my daughter in rehab. How could that judge let her just walk into court and walk right back out?" He continued, "I hate to speak out publicly like this about Lindsay, but it's for all the parents and the teens out there. I've seen what it's done."

Michael doesn't have many fans left due to his previous statements bashing his daughter's behavior and his off-color comments about her sexual orientation, but he might have a point here. Lindsay gets to keep walking around free in Los Angeles, but is that really the best thing for her? Only time will tell.
