Levi Johnston to File for Joint Custody of Palin Baby

Monday – November 09, 2009 – 12:24pm

Levi Johnston says he is planning to file for legal joint custody of his 10-month-old son with former fiancee Brisol Palin.

Johnston, 19, has claimed in the past that the Palin family has prevented him from being alone with son Tripp. And things have only gotten worse.

"Not working. I'm done," he tells The Insider. "It's going to have to go to court. They just finally pushed me over the edge."

Johnston's feud with the Palin family heated up last month when he said on CBS's The Early Show that Sarah Palin referred to her infant son Trig, who has Down syndrome, as "retarded."

See photos of Levi, Bristol and other stars who spent the summer single

The former Alaska Gov. shot back, saying: "We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied. Trig is our 'blessed little angel' who knows it and is lovingly called that every day of his life."

She also slammed Johnston for stripping down for Playgirl (the shoot takes place next week): "Those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention."

    Hey California Granny, If you are going to comment on Levi (NOTICE I SPELLED IT LEVI, NOT LEVY) apparently your idea of "honest" money is writing books disparaging his child's grandmother and even worse criticizes the mother of his baby. The only "honest" money he has made has been at the expense of others and now to pose nude in Playgirl!!! What a delicious role model he will be for his young baby? Wouldn't you be proud of a father who capitalizes on a opportunity which he didn't or haven't had absolutely nothing to contribute!!! HORRAY for LEVI for being a narcissitic jerk that thinks of no one but himself. That being said, I am not exactly a great fan of Sarah Palin, but I certainly wouldn't use that to my advantage. I have too many ethics.

    Let this be a lesson to all the mothers out there who believe in "Free Love" for their teen-aged children, ie., (allowing young men to come into your home and "shack up" with your daughters), just what nightmares it can produce... Unexpected pregnancies, and Levi Johnstons forever, included in your lives !

    some of you people are blaming Levy for his family members troubles. Give him a break. Surely you can't think he is reasponsible for their conduct. Point is Levy had a baby with Palin girl, she won't allow him to see baby properly, he wants time with HIS BABY , the only alternative is to get court order to make things right to Levy. Everything else is sheer nonsense about his family, his this and that and other thing. Non of those has anything to do with Levy's desire to see his son. So what if he wants to pose in Playgirl? WhAT THE HE** DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE TIME OF DAY. He is free to do what he wants with his time. Are all of you nay sayers so envies of his change of earning honest money for him self that your mouths are running 1000 miles a minute.? Shame on you all. Levy has his rights too as a father of his child and if he wants to work to earn his keep, so be it and the rest of your opinions don't mean a thing. It is A FREE COUNTRY last time I looked. You go, Levy

    Sarah Palin stripped down for beauty pageants- i.e reflected a desperate need for attention and is likely to say and do anything for even more attention and money. She is just as bad if not worse- can anyone else in Alaska see Russia out their window?

    this is this mans baby, sarah palin should mind her business. when they were doing the do if Bristol didn't want a baby she should have been using BIRTH CONTROL. That is wrong trying to keep someone away from their child. They will reap what they sow. Money Power and God has the last say.

    The guy is hardy in AK, has no GED, not going to College and has parents that are drug addicts. I would be terrified to leave my baby with a man that is this angry and hell bent on creating drama. Go back to HS levi and GROW UP!
  • November 10, 2009 - 11:00am just cindy Says:

    If he truly cared about the baby and not publicity, he would not put the baby, his mother and her family through this media nightmare that does nothing but put the spotlight on him. He needs to grow up and put his priorities straight, not let media play him like a violin, and learn some respect and maturity before he takes on fatherhood and all that goes with it.
  • November 10, 2009 - 10:12am Mary Says:

    Regardless of what you think about Levi, the simple fact is that he is this child's father, and he should be able to see him and build a father-son relationship with him. Should he have full custody? No, I don't think so. But I do think that he should see the child as often as possible and be allowed to spend time with his own child. People are surprised that he is "immature" at 18 years old? NEWS FLASH PEOPLE: Almost all 18 year old kids are immature, irresponsible and "free spirited". So what that he posed for Playgirl? What about ALL the women who are mothers that posed for Playboy and Penthouse? Why is there such a double standard here? Obviously, he is doing it for money, and I am sure that if anybody was offered a ton of money to pose in one of those magazines they would do it and not give it a second thought!! It's funny how people can judge others without putting themselves in their shoes. If the Palins aren't allowing him to see his own son, then they are wrong and SHOULD be taken to court. If he is telling lies, then shame on him. He is just doing this for publicity and that is terrible.

    Levi Johnston you are an embarrassment to the Palins, the baby, and even yourself. But then what can expect when you allegedly come from a drug dealing den of a home AKA your mom. You may like to play all "we are decent folks," but that environment is not a good place for a kid to visit. Your mother is arrested or imprisoned but the fact remains you just recently came from that environment. You need more than social blackmail to earn respect in public eyes and in your son's eyes. You need to do the work, train to be a good parent, mature. This mean not acting like a child seeking any attention even if it's negative. I wish you would just quietly go to school, work, and be a real man and father. Oh and playgirl is not a real job. Furthermore we don't want to see you there. It ruins the fantasy aspect to have some jerk who is only famous for knocking up another teenager and not being responsible to hold a job - posing. I just don't want to see you. You like to play victim made to be like a Stepford son-in-law to be. However, the truth of the matter is you probably loved every minute of it. The spotlight on stage, the recognition nationwide and possibly notice internationally. When things fell apart as things sometimes do, it seems you have spent every moment trying to get back there. Focus on getting a real job, focus on being mature, focus on not being such a jerk. Sarah Palin is not my favorite person, but you make me feel sorry for her and her family. It's amazing how many people are standing up for this schmuck yet are probably the same ones who denigrate Jon Gosselin for partying after separating from harpie Kate. Jon is not always perfect, but then who is? At least he has the decency to keep his clothes on and not have the kids around drug dealing grandmas.

    Since Sarah can't run her own household why is she into running yours Levi?All Sarah wants is the daughter for a baby setter to care for her Twig ,Leaf and Branch. If she could she would have another of those wants to be in the headlines as having the most of them as long as she can push off caring for them. Call them as you see them Levi good Luck take the jobs offered and run with them the goback to school you need an education forlater.

  • November 09, 2009 - 11:07pm Pam Says:

    Levi Johnston deserves a chance to actively participate in raising his son. Yes, he is currently acting like a moron, but i bet he wouldn't be behaving like such an idiot if he hadn't been thrust into the spotlight as the first-son-in-law apparent at the age of 18. Hell, I was a moron when I was 19 too. If he acts in a manner that endangers his son, then he should lose custody , but I don't see why he shouldn't have a chance. I bet Bristol has learned a lot in the last several months --why shouldn't Levi have the same opportunity?
  • November 09, 2009 - 9:43pm Jones Says:

    I can't wait to see ALL of him and here's hoping her gets full custody of the kid!!!!!!!!!
  • November 09, 2009 - 9:11pm Sara Says:

    Being a child of divorced parents, I am appalled at Levi's antics. Maybe when he grows up he can share more custody of Tripp, but now he's hasn't demonstrated the maturity and good judgement required of someone who cares for every need of a small child.
