After calling off the engagement for a second time, Bristol Palin and her baby daddy Levi Johnston have come to an agreement regarding custody of their 19-month-old son Tripp.
RadarOnline.com has learned that custody of Tripp was awarded jointly in papers filed Friday afternoon, but Bristol will retain primary custody while Levi will get two days a week to visit with his son – Saturdays and Wednesdays.

“A judge will still need to approve this settlement for the case to be finalized,” Wendy Lyford, Court Administrator in Alaska told RadarOnline.com. Lynford said that a judge can modify the stipulations if they choose to do so.
According to the court papers obtained by RadarOnline.com, Levi’s earnings are estimated at $72,000 per year and “the earning capacity shall be used to calculate [his] child support obligation.”

Furthermore, the paperwork states that “the child shall receive positive reinforcement about each party and that the child has the right to be free of negative comments by one parent about the other.”
If Levi and Bristol should happen to get engaged for a third time, the papers address a marriage by saying that “when, or if, the parties get married to one another this shall constitute a change of circumstances.”

Following their second breakup Bristol told RadarOnline.com, “Perhaps I was naïve but I really thought Levi was ready.
“This [second engagement] was about doing what was best for Tripp and making us a family.”

They need to get back together. It is obvious they love each other. She should do the reality show
with him. They can make a lot of money the unconventional way. She shouldn't listen to Sarah Palin.

"Get at his money . . ." What? That makes no sense; he has no job, he has no money. He thinks his looks will make him a fortune, which so far, has not worked out well for him. Families should help their own; it beats government aid.

Bristol has PLENTY of money from her abstinence speechs and interviews. No one takes this into consideration. She lives off mom and dad and doesn't even have her own place. She doesn't need more money. She's just lazy and stupid.

He certainly is well rid of her! She complained he liked media and then gave an interview to People Mag to prove it LMAO. When they got engaged she gave an interview to US Mag. She has no ambition in life other than to get at his money.

You're right smooch! Why it is ok for her to get all the media attention but he can't???

I'm sorry it didn't work out..relationships are so complex now. They are just two young kids with a baby boy and it's too bad so many things went wrong.

Nothing too complex about this relationship....just raging hormones among two teenagers practicing "abstinence" only.

Glad this is settled before the new bun is born. Hopefully Bristol and Ben can reach an agreement right away on that baby.

The article is about the custody not Bristol's size. Bristol is trim and very FIT now. That is a bad photo. Maybe from when she was pregnant. Levi will miss most of his days as he is busy in Hollywood helping CA mock him and his family
