Gosselin’s livelihood took a hit last week when the TLC cable network, home to the “Jon and Kate Plus 8” hit series, was granted a preliminary injunction last week that forced its former star to stop making public appearances.

"Jon's in pretty serious financial trouble because his plan for making money was shut down in court,” the insider said. “He has warned his lawyers that he can't pay them and if he doesn't succeed against TLC, he will have no funds. He's even gone so far as to say that if they want to be paid, they will have to sue him."

Those lawyers are part of a father-son team that was introduced to Gosselin by Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael Lohan, the insider said.

Mike Heller is the CEO of Talent Resources, which manages Gosselin, and Mark Heller is Gosselin’s New York lawyer.

Gosselin's bills are stacking up and he needs to get a legitimate job, but the insider says he is making no effort to get one.

"It's a good thing Kate Gosselin has been put in charge of the family funds that provide for the couple's eight children," the insider says. "She is the responsible parent.”

Representatives for the Hellers deny any problems with Gosselin.

“Jon Gosselin’s New York lawyer has the highest regard for Jon Gosselin and will continue to work for Jon for as long as he requires their services," the rep said in a written statement to Fox411.com. "The Hellers have no concern relevant to being paid by Jon for their services and see no circumstances under which they would ever sue Jon."
