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.

Woudn’t he be taking Bristol to court, really? Unless Sarah kidnaped the kid, her having physical custody of him would result from Bristol letting her. If Levi wants to see him more, he would be putting the onus on Bristol, not Sarah, to hand him over.
Why doesn’t levi shut up and continue posing nude for the butt hornets?
He cannot sue the grandmother. FAIL.
“The public disclosure of Bristol’s pregnancy during the 2008 US presidential election campaign came as an embarrassment to Mrs Palin’s campaign.”
Don’t you love it when liberals assign their motivations to others.
Wait, Sarah isn’t Tripp’s mother, Bristol is, doesn’t he mean take BRISTOL to court. Nah of course not, he wants Sarah because that will get him the most media attention. He can gives a rats ass about his son. I have a feeling he wanted to date Bristol from the beginning because he knew she was the Governor’s daughter and somehow he could make a profit off of her. Oh gee Levi, I wonder why the Palin’s won’t let you see Tripp, could it be cause your a SLEAZE BAG!
He should be the poster boy for why girls should practice abstinence!
He'll be gone soon.
As a decent, responsible and loving divorced father, all I can say is...He doesn’t have a chance in hell. Thank God.
He has to be out of his mind. All the Palin lawyers have to do is show the Playgirl pics.
Why would he take Sarah to court and not the mother?
Soon enough you’ll find his ass laying in the gutter, dead of an overdose. Just watch, its inevitable
soon to be a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing With The Tards”
This guy is such a loser. While surfing channels yesterday morning, I ran across some interview he was doing for one of the network shows. I kid you not: he spoke in a monotone, wasn’t looking into the camera, and honestly, it appeared as though he was reading a script. It seemed obvious to me that he was saying what he was told to say, and that someone had written it out for him.
I hope Bristol’s taste in men improves—quickly.
I'd rather see snowmobile tracks all over his carcass.
We can see how this will all play out, a cinstatnt news coverage with CHild Custody hearings planned for the election run up.
Well, lets hoe they will be held in Family court , in camera.
Levi is nothing but a puss head being used by gutter Dems.
“Why would he take Sarah to court and not the mother?”
He wouldn’t. But what sort of headline would it be if it didn’t try to embarass Palin?
Just a question..is this guy paying any child support?
Yeah, that’ll play well in court. Fight the grandmother for custody of a baby she doesn’t have.
The guy was always a jerk and Bristol obviously fell for his line because he was good looking. Poor Sarah, she never seems to get a break.
Levi needs his ass kicked
I hate to say this, but that does not make one an unfit parent. Neither does being a stripper.
Levi should sue his johnson.
Levi has taken every opportunity to trash Palin on tv shows.
No reasonable judge would allow Levi to have custody of his son.
Yeah that too. Notice how Entertainment Tonight plasters his stupid ass all over TV, and why..because they hate her. Entertainment Tonight has turned into gutter trash, Globe Magazine but on TV.
The Left will squeeze him dry, till he is absolutely useless in even mildly hurting Sarah. He is an embodiment of useful idiot.
[he will “definitely” take her to court to gain access to his child]
I didn’t read the full story, surprising if he has had no access to the child but do not know all the details.
That was my first thought. His beef isn’t with Sarah. But his handlers beef is with Sarah.
What a tool!
Statutory rape apply in Alaska if he was 18 an she was 17 ?
Of course he is being told what to say. No one actually believes the crap out of his mouth. Everyone knows it’s a lie, even Levi can’t keep a straight face, but it’s all for show, anything to destroy Sarah because they all love Obama
Waiting for N.O.W. and other “feminist” groups to spring into action against this misogynist d*****-bag tool in 3..2..1..(crickets)
Stupid is as stupid does...Sarah has nothing to do with it...its between him and the baby’s mother...What a dumb ass. Grandma has nothing to do with it....but we must put Sarah’s name in it to get anyplace...who would care if he sued the childs mother....No one in the MSM thats for sure...
He will be found dead of a drug overdose in a seedy motel bathroom someday.
I don’t really wish that on anyone, but that is where this is going.
And, if they cannot affect Sarah though him, he is useless as a person. He will be discarded.
Now, THAT’S something that I am sure the Feminists will be looking into!
Amen, sis.
The sad reality, though, is that there are probably millions of brainless girls in America who just adore Levi and would jump in the sack with him without hesitation.
The rotten apple won’t be falling far from its tree ... his crack whore mom.
Levi is white trash.
And after the way Sarah just folded right up when the big oil companies threatened to take her to court, I’m sure her daughter will do the same. (Do I really need the tag?)
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 see. Does he have a job? a House? Has he been paying child support? Just some questions.
An awful lot of us would have been in the can if that had been the law back in the day...
The kids grandmother has no standing in the matter. The dispute is between him and the mother. Unless she is physically preventing him from see the child.
“I hate to say this, but that does not make one an unfit parent. Neither does being a stripper.”
You can’t be a Christian conservative or you’d never say something so stupid.
What would Jesus say?
Well, it’s not right if he’s being prevented from seeing his baby.
It IS his and Bristol’s, after all...
Ed
You’re right, but there is no evidence that Bristol Palin is a bad mother. Also, while Levi Johnson’s behavior doesn’t disqualify him, it does reflect badly on him.
I am sure Bristol could counter-sue, demand the playgirl model not have custody , take drug tests AND pay child support.
