An Alaska judge has ordered Levi Johnston to pay Bristol Palin, the daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, $18,000 in past-due child support for their one-year-old son. Palin can also subpoena any of Johnston’s commercial earnings in the future.
Palin had been asking for $1,750 per month since her and Johnston split up. However, at an earlier hearing, Johnston told the judge his income wasn't stable enough to meet Palin’s demands.
Thomas Van Flein, Palin’s attorney, said Bristol is pleased with the judge’s decision.
Palin currently has both phsycial and legal custody on Tripp, but has been working out visitation arrangements with Johnston so he can see his son. Right now he only sees the boy on Saturdays, but they are working on creating a more regular schedule. They hope to have that schedule ready by their next court date, which has been set for September 23. Both Palin and Johnston say they want to put their son first.
In addition to the $18,000 in overdue child support, Johnston must also pay Palin $1,600 a month from here on out.
