Bristol Palin Wants Her Son's Father to Sign Over his Parental Rights

Bristol Palin is trying to take more control of her son's life by asking to change his last name from Johnston to Palin, as well as asking the father to sign over his parental rights. However, Levi Johnston is not keen on either of these ideas and is fighting back.

Whether it is a sign of her age or her newness as a parent, Palin's approach to the matter has been seen as nonchalant at times. In one statement to the press Palin said, "Yeah, I've asked Levi to do it many different times, just to get it out of the way, just sign over his parental rights, but I don't know if he will or if he wants to right now." 

She is so eager for Levi to sign over his parental rights that Palin has agreed to live without his child support payments in return. Palin hopes to avoid a child custody case over their son Tripp and has even said that he will continue to have interaction with his son as long as he agrees to the parental rights clause.
