Levi Johnston has been ordered to pay nearly $18,000 in back child support ... TMZ has learned.

During a hearing in the child support case between Bristol Palin and Levi, the judge ruled Levi must pay $1,688.42 a month in support, retroactive to the child's birth -- December 27, 2008.

$1,688.42 is not a little small amount of money, especially for a guy who has the intellect of a door stopper. That's a LOT of trips to the blood-bank, for Mr. Johnston.

Wonder what he got for that magnificent Playgirl spread?

HUH???????????????????????????????

"The guy is scum, but he is getting screwed."

I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure that's how he got into this mess in the first place.

[Jewbacca]

At least once.

As his infamy (and earning potential) decreases, his payment obligation decreses.

I got screwed. My ex paid $1208 for twins!

[SoConPubbie]

The guy is scum, but he is getting screwed.

No he's not.

Sadly, he wasn't man enough to own up to his responsibilities and it took a court to force him to do the right thing.

PING.

[BreitbartSentMe]

IIRC the cost of living is pretty high in Alaska...

[MissTickly]

Child support is based on income.

His monthly payment will go down as he grows moobs and can no longer book gigs with the nudie mags.=)

[5thGenTexan]

Support is generally based as a percentage of his income, and can be adjusted by the court as his income changes.

At least its not a progressive rate - that's when you get screwed.

[GeronL]

What is his income and where does it come from?

[SmokingJoe]

More trips to pose naked for gay magazines for you, Mr Johnston. Wish they had been ordered to pay even more. Bleed the sucker dry.

[autumnraine]

Well, consider that this amount was based on his Playboy venture, all his interviews in magazines, videos on gossip entertainment shows of him changing his son’s diapers, etc...

Now I’m sure when the media is done with him, his income will be adjusted to his actual potential wage (minimum wage) and the amount will be greatly reduced.

However he is the one who thought he shouldn’t have to pay ANYTHING even after making boatloads of money showing off his non-wiener.
