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.

We’re not exactly talking about an intellectual heavy weight here.
When the boys media handlers tell him attack Sarah, he goes after Sarah. If they say attack Captain Kangaroo, he’s going after the corpse of Bob Keeshan.
levi is not the brightest candle on the menorah.
Tripp Palin is Sarah Palins son. Not her grandson. This story is BS
Oops confusing Trig with Tripp
Well, I think with all the money he stands to gain from his Gay Porn shoot with “Playgurl”, he’ll make an outstanding candidate for “Fadduh uf da year”. You go, Levi...set an example of class, personal integrity and responsibility for all good parents...
Divorce was permitted in the OT, Jesus said it was because of our hardness of heart. It is not permitted in the NT.
Jesus also redefined adultry in the NT as if one committed it in the heart it was the same as doing the act.
Doesn’t look like Levi wants baby time since he said he is going to sue the wrong person. Sue the mother not the grandmother. So the judge may give Levi some baby time (if he sues the right person) but he’ll have to pay child support probably even in arrears. And now that Levi is making so much money as a CBS stooge, spokesperson and playgirl eye candy 4-5 thousand a month is not out of the question.
You are right, it`s the ideal situation...roll eyes
No, adultery and desertion are two of the permitted reasons for divorce in the Bible. There is no commandment from Jesus, “Thou shalt never get divorced”. Jesus got angrier at the Pharisees in the NT than He ever got angry at someone caught in adultery or someone who had had more than one life partner.
A remarriage can of course be permitted if the spouse dies too.
Jesus knew we were ALL guilty of adultery in our hearts whenever we looked at someone not our spouse and desired that person, that’s why He made that broad statement. The wages of sin is death.
I'm guessing some wealthy Dem who has decided that this is a good way to make the Palins bleed money, and distract Sarah from politics.
A father should should not have to go through the court system simply to have parenting time with his own baby.
That is big government at its worst.
The inverview was on ET tonight.
I know this is a brainless show. But it is in fact recorded.
They showed footage of Sarah and her hubbie getting some sweets and he said. That is all for show. The never talk to each other.
It was outragous.
I think what Marty was saying was that Levi claimed the Palins were getting divorced based on an argument he saw between them.
Because, you know, married people NEVER argue.
Whether he see’s the kid is NOT Sarah’s problem. He needs to deal with that through the MOTHER.
This is pure political BS.
BTW is HE paying CHILD SUPPORT?
Money and publicity. He's probably got some liberal helping him with this.
