Lindsay Lohan has been begging her mom to come see her ever since she got out of rehab last month -- and finally ... TMZ has learned ... Dina is flying West for a visit.

According to sources close to LiLo, Dina's flying out to L.A. on Monday to give her daughter some much needed support -- a little over a week after Linds was charged with felony grand theft.

As we previously reported, Lindsay can't leave California because of her probation restrictions -- and we're told, not seeing her family has been the most difficult part.

Sources tell us Dina and Lindsay plan to keep things simple during the visit -- hanging out at Lindsay's new place in Venice, working out together, and catching up.

Dare we say it ... just regular mother-daughter stuff.

TMZ broke the story ... the L.A. County District Attorney's Office will file felony grand theft charges against Lohan any day ... though we're told it won't be today.

Sources connected to the case tell us ... Lindsay had around $6,000 in cash with her because she had been eyeing a ring in the store, which was going for $3,400. Lindsay had gone to the store several times previously, debating whether to buy it.

Short story ... Lindsay had enough money to buy both the ring and the necklace on the day in question.

We've learned the surveillance video shows Lindsay walking out of the store wearing the necklace, without paying. In the video, the necklace is partially hidden by other jewelry Lindsay is wearing around her neck.
