Bristol Palin Wants Baby's Father To Pay Up

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, is demanding more money from her child’s father, Levi Johnston.

Palin wants Johnston to take responsibility for their son, Tripp, and pay $1,750 a month in child support. Palin claims that Johnston has slacked on his financial responsibility since Tripp’s birth in December 2008.

She filed the papers on Thursday in Alaska.

TMZ.com reports that the 19-year-old Bristol believes that Levi, also 19, has earned “in excess of $105,000 in 2009 through various media interviews and modeling related activities.”

In a sworn statement, she revealed, “I have received limited and sporadic financial assistance from Levi.”

She went on to say that he has only contributed $4.400 for Tripp: $3,000 on September 9, 2009, and $1,400 on December 19.

Last November, Bristol filed for full legal and physical custody of Tripp.

Around the same time, her mother, Sarah Palin, appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s show and told the host that Johnston is “still a part of the family…I think he needs to know that he is loved and he has the most beautiful child and this can all work out for good.”

Johnston's manager, Tank Jones, stated that Levi has paid Bristol more than $10,000 since Tripp was born. He also said Levi does not make money off of every interview he does, though he did not say exactly how much Levi has made.
