EXCLUSIVE: Levi Johnston Will Seek "Reconsideration" of Judge's Child Support Order, Says Lawyer
Posted on Mar 08, 2010 @ 08:40AM
Levi Johnston was recently ordered to pay an extra $3500 in back child support to his baby mama, Bristol Palin. And while the 19-year-old will try to comply with the judge’s order, he’s not happy about having to pay so much, his lawyer Rex Butler told RadarOnline.com.

“Levi promptly paid what the court ordered…he does not agree with the amount and will seek reconsideration of the court’s order,” Butler, who calls himself “Team Levi,” told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “If he prevails, he will receive a credit…he will obviously have to work hard to generate the income necessary to support the court’s order, but he’d rather pay and fight than be in contempt of the court’s order.”
Levi is already working to try and pay what he owes. A Playgirl rep told RadarOnline.com exclusively that he and Levi recently shot an episode of Kathy Griffin’s reality show My Life On The D List in Alaska.

As RadarOnline.com reported, a judge raised the amount of child support that Levi must pay from $18,000 to $21,561.12. Bristol’s attorney told RadarOnline.com, “We are hopeful that Levi will support his child and, based on his counsel’s on record promises made last week, expect those promises to be kept in due course.”

Ok, let's get this straight: Levi wants to trek around Hollywood getting paid tv and modeling gigs, get the public to believe that he's a doting dad, yet pay as little as possible to support his own kid. Ok, got it.

Levi did the Playboy spread, was on the Insider repeatedly, was on multiple talk shows in 2009 - all reporting that he got paid, and he is saying he's paying too much to support his own kid?

Why is it that we hear of these tv personalities, actors who make a lot of money always complain of paying support for their own kids??? ie. Levi, Anne Heche, Montel Williams.

Shame that Levi who earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2009 and bought new cars and took fun trips does not want to support his son. LEVI IS A DEADBEAT DAD.

Dumb Levi does not see that Kathy Griffin and his rep are using him to knock Palin. Levi never said negative things about the Palins until Kathy got a hold of him and taught him to LIE for her entertainment.

Kathy Griffin is actually gettin him free press and helps get his image out there for more people/booking agents to notice.

Kathy is using you, so is Tank. Go back to school, get a regular job and get the support lowered. See your kid. I hope someone with a son helps this kid out with fees. Don't become a fame-ho Levi, there is enough in the kid's life.
