Two weeks after Bristol Palin gave birth to daughter Sailor Grace, her ex-fiancé, Dakota Meyer, is claiming to be the biological father and seeking joint custody.
Bristol's mother, former vice-presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, spoke to ET exclusively about Meyer's claims.
"For many months we have been trying to reach out to Dakota Myers [sic] and he has wanted nothing to do with either Bristol's pregnancy or the baby," Palin told ET.
"Paramount to the entire Palin family is the health and welfare of Sailor Grace," she added, claiming that Meyer is attempting to "save face."
Meyer filed legal documents alleging that he's Sailor Grace's father, and is seeking joint custody of the newborn girl, as well as child support, TMZ reports.

ping to you.
Personally, I am very torn and upset about such a situation.
It’s good to see the father in the situation wanting to be involved in his child’s life. But if the relationship between the split couple and family is so tense that there won’t be a good relationship with the father, what can be done? I don’t have any answers. Just expressing frustration that these things happen more than anything.
Not to suggest a trailer-park scenario, but this is mostly gossip stuff over a young gal who has gotten involved with two guys and walked away in each case with a kid from each guy. If this were my daughter, I’d be having a heart-to-heart chat and convey some wisdom that you’d best find less drama in relationships.
But we did ping the list here :)

The POS is requesting “child support”. He just wants to get paid.
And it must be absolutely detrimental to the children, even if they were stand up guys.
We really need to bring back the concept of shame.
Father is asking Child support. lol. He should find a job.
it’s all become tabloid trash crap and Bristol needs to make better choices.
But the "waywardness" of Bristol, the names BOTH have given to their children and the cool attitude about it all .... I wonder if Sarah is the epitome of a hippie all growed up
How would this personality have translated in the White House ?
Bristol appears to be a bit of a mess. She comes across as a nice girl, but with “rebel without a clue” tendencies. Hope Sarah can get through to Bristol. The Palin’s are just like every other family, fighting this worlds influence and the dumb decisions that kids make.
I laud Bristol Palin for not aborting her second pregnancy, which was perhaps more humiliating for her than her first was. However, I believe it's time for conservatives to start pressuring pregnant women and their boyfriends to get married. (And, yes, I understand that perhaps Bristol Palin’s latest beau refused to get married. I'm not beating up on her.)
As I understand it, she left him after discovering he’d briefly been married years earlier and hadn’t told her. Yeah, that’s something I’d be upset about. But if I was engaged, in love and pregnant, is that really worth ending the relationship over?
As a former kid who made some dumb decisions, I wholeheartedly concur.
Palins will have to get used to Dakota’s presence in his daughter’s life.
The court will grant him rights because he is the father.
That is unless they can prove he is some kind of danger to his child or is not the baby daddy.
Do they really want to go there?
Sarah is through as an elected officeholder. Rich families do what Bristol does all the time. At least the kid won’t grow up in poverty.
He got laid and now he was to be paid.
My husband’s niece is a Physician’s Assistant and has 4 kids by 3 different men. Thankfully she married to dad number 3.
