EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT: Bristol Palin Fires Back At Levi Johnston In Child Support Battle
Posted on Feb 11, 2010 @ 06:35AM
Bristol Palin has fired back at her baby daddy Levi Johnston in their child support battle and RadarOnline.com is first to obtain her exclusive statement.
In legal papers Levi said it’s not possible for him to pay $1,750 a month in child support for their baby Tripp, as Bristol requested, because his income is “erratic.” But his lawyers said Levi is hopeful for a good career in entertainment.

Perhaps playing off the language used by Levi’s lawyers, Bristol released this statement to RadarOnline.com through her attorney:
"Bristol is hopeful that Levi will obtain work in 2010. She is encouraged that he acknowledged in court his obligation to pay childsupport and that he acknowledged paying $4,400 in the last 14 months. Bristol expects to mediate a child visitation schedule with Levi that balances Tripp's need to be with his father with Levi's need to travel and seek work."

For those of you haven’t been to law school (or through a custody battle), that’s lawyer-speak for “Pay up, bud.”

Sarah Palin must be charging her daughter a lot of rent to require that much a month for child support - LOL

Sorry Levi, you can't have it both ways...want to be a superstar and make superstar $$ and pay child support like you work at McDonalds. It is the same for EVERYONE, male or female if you don't have sole custody. It's 17% of your gross earnings.

Levi has not attempted to finish high school or take his GED test. Bristol goes to college part time and works. I am glad they did not marry. Levi is a deadbeat dad.

Bristol submitted a request that ALL be confidential as things that come out could hurt the baby in the future but Levi's team disagreed and wanted to sell the story to the tabloids. Bristol works and goes to school.

I just can't believe Bristol is spending $3600 a month on ONE child. If each parent pays the same amount, that's what she's spending. That's over $100 every day. Jeebus!!

Bristol is living with her parents. But, Chacooe, you are saying Levi's mother is out of prison and living in her trailer under house arrest. So, maybe the baby could go live with a felony,convicted drug dealer.

CJ, this post isn't about Levi's mother.

Reader31, it isn't about Sarah Palin either, as you've tried to make it.

I would like to know where Bristol's income in coming from. How is she making money to support her own child.
