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.
