Lindsay Lohan recently sent a letter to her father, Michael Lohan - using all the proper legal channels, of course.

Linds had a cease-and-desist letter penned and sent to dear old dad, threatening to sue him for damages if he attempts to sell or otherwise publicize excerpts from the diary she wrote in 2007, during one of her stints in rehab.

Michael and Lindsay often communicate indirectly through the press, a route taken by another famously feuding parent-child pair, Candy and Tori Spelling.

Courtney Love and Frances Bean Kobain go at each other via social media.

And everyone who isn’t worth millions? They just use the telephone to talk to their parents.
