Bristol Palin Seeks Child Support
Posted By Law Office of Michael R. Young on Jan 28, 2010 5:30am PST
Bristol Palin, the oldest daughter of ex Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, is seeking
child support from her ex-fiancé, Levi Johnston.
Court documents show Palin asking for $1,750 a month for their 19-month-old son Tripp. Palin is also seeking $18,350 in back child support. She claims she is providing 100% of Tripp’s care and that Johnston only paid her a total of $4,440 in a little over a year.
The amount Palin is asking for is based on Johnston’s income last year. Under Alaska law, the non-custodial parent is required to pay 20% of his or her adjusted annual income in child support.
Palin also filed for full
custody back in November, but Johnston’s attorney says his client wants joint custody of Tripp.
