The Dr. Phil-Octomom Summit

Dr. Phil may not make house calls, but he apparently is willing to receive them.

E! News caught America's favorite single mother of 14, octomom Nadya Suleman, leaving the good TV doctor's Beverly Hills abode after a closed-door summit.

Accompanying Suleman on the visit was attorney Gloria Allred. The camera-ready lawyer praised McGraw but opted not to discuss Suleman's possible legal troubles. There have been reports that Octomom is under investigation by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services.

"All I can say is 'no comment' and it's all about the babies," Allred told E! News of the meeting. "If and when there is anything to say beyond that, definitely everyone will know."

This isn't the first time the 33-year-old Suleman came face-to-face with the folksy straight-talker; she sat down for a two-part, ratings-bonanza interview on McGraw's syndicated show last week.

The purpose of today's visit remains unclear, but Dr. Phil has been publicly critical of Suleman while at the same time a reluctant supporter of her children, saying that there are now "other people to consider."

As for Allred's involvement, Suleman rejected an offer of help made by the nonprofit group Angels in Waiting last month, which would have relied on public donations. Allred represented the group.

Allred also announced last month that she "quietly" submitted lodged a complaint with  Family Services asking for a probe into whether Suleman was able to care for her brood.
