Levi Johnston 'To Take Sarah Palin To Court' Over Child Custody
The teenager who fathered Sarah Palin's 10-month-old grandson has delivered a fresh blow to the former Republican vice presidential candidate by saying he will "definitely" take her to court to gain access to his child.
By Nick Allen in Los Angeles 30 Oct 2009
Levi Johnston, 19, who had a son called Tripp with Mrs Palin's eldest daughter Bristol, has been considering legal action for months but now says it is "inevitable" and that Mrs Palin is preventing him from seeing the boy. A court case over Tripp, during which Mr Johnston may make damaging allegations about Mrs Palin, could hamper any hopes she harbours of running for the White House in 2012.
"I'm up to the point where I can't see my kid again. I'm done. I'm sure we'll end up in court," Mr Johnston said in an interview with The Guardian today. "We're definitely going to court. They started letting me see him and everything was fine. But everything got bad again. So I said screw them. Bristol listens to her mom. Sarah says something, Bristol is going to follow."
Mr Johnston said there had been periods when he was able to see Tripp about once a week but at other times he has had almost no contact. He last saw his son several weeks ago, he said.
The public disclosure of Bristol's pregnancy during the 2008 US presidential election campaign came as an embarrassment to Mrs Palin's campaign. At the time Bristol was 17 and still at school.

“If neither Sarah nor Todd want to get their hands dirty, perhaps they could coax Dick Cheney to take this cretin on a hunting trip to the frozen tundra ;)”
I was actually thinking Guiliani might have some boys that could take care of this.
Of course when Levi loses, he will go public and cry about how Sarah has bribed the judges, he can’t get a fair hearing because of Sarah bias, etc. Its all too predictable. I’d love to see Mark Levin do pro bono work for Bristol. How awesome would that be. LOL!
Probably the DNC.. or Soros, or someone like that.
He’s the perfect high school boyfriend...cute, popular, stupid...you’re NOT SUPPOSED to have their babies..you’re supposed to learn what NOT to date.
No doubt photoshop will be used.
What a horribly biased article.
But what do you expect from a newspaper who gives Obama his own tab under the ‘WORLD NEWS’ option of the news section.
Disgusting.
How much family time is he getting?
Do you understand the correlation?
I don’t ever remember him looking like a meth head. But then I haven’t seen a recent pic of him.
extremely misleading article....he has to take the mom to court, not Sarah
no doubt libs are paying and playing him
folks here don;t know a lot about how folks lose visitation rights in most states
He won't get visitation if he doesn't pay support though, becuase he will be in jail.
Bristol needs to have a drug test ordered and all will be well.
The freak has to pay and at best he might get superivised visits, but not on his turf! ;)
This little puke is gonna turn tail and sign over all his custody rights after reading the counter custody suit that’s coming his way.
Sarah was getting bombarded with frivolous law suits that should have been tossed and weren't. And it appeared they would continue to be filed ad infinitum.....until she fooled them and resigned as governor.
Alaska is probably just as riddled with liberal judges as the rest of our states are.
In short, I wouldn't want to be a big-name conservative (or the daughter of one) appearing before an Alaska judge ....even for jay-walking.

He abanded the kid and the mother has been doing her job and has the advantage.
Fathers have a right to raise their children.
That is a natural right; the current feminist system’s disrespect of that natural right is another matter.
Levi bailed like the wuss that he is. Rights? Forfeited!
He didn’t ‘bail’ at all.
He is actively seeking to be as involved as possible in the raising of his son, and apparently has since the beginning.
George Soros.
