Recently Bristol filed a Child Custody Jurisdiction Affidavit which some of us worried was an attempt to change jurisdiction so that she could take Tripp to Arizona and force Levi to fight for his visitation rights long distance.
However yesterday, according to Court View, Levi filed an Order Granting Motion for Expedited Consideration which, and I am really only guessing because though I have slept with a law student I have not attended law school, seems to be an attempt by his new attorney to stop Bristol in her tracks and keep the case here in the state.
What's new about this custody case this time I believe is that Levi has an attorney who is NOT associated with Rex Butler in any way, and according to my usual contacts within the Johnston family it looks like things may not be nearly as settled when it comes to the custody arrangement as the Palins would like us to think.
I am confident that at the very least Levi will get his child support payments reduced to a reasonable rate, and that he will be able to ensure that his son is not removed from the state without his knowledge any time his mother gets a wild hair up her ass.
Personally, considering how poorly represented Levi was in the past, I think it would be appropriate for the judge to start from scratch, and work out a custody agreement and child support payments based on the facts rather than simply giving the Palins every damn thing they ask for.
I am beyond certain that at some point Rex Butler was no longer working in Levi's best interests, and I think the handling of the previous custody arrangement is all the proof you need to know that's a fact.
After all what kind of an attorney tells his client not to show up for a custody hearing?
However I am concerned that Levi will not get a fair shot yet again as the judge assigned to this case, Gregory L. Heath (I know right?), is a Palin appointee, and may have ties to her crazy ass church.
I know if I were Levi's attorney that would raise serious red flags for me.
Update: Okay I am not going to respond to the crazy Bristol Palin fan girl who haunts these pages in between electric shock treatments, but let me clear a few things up.
Levi was NEVER adequately represented in his first custody hearings.
In fact he did not even go through CSSD to start his child support payments, which is what ALL divorced parents are encouraged to utilize to keep things fair and to ensure accountability. And because of that it allowed the Palins to call him a deadbeat dad even though he had been paying regularly on his monthly payments and the portion in arrears.
And yes Bristol has taken Tripp out of state numerous times without notifying Levi or the Johnston family. Not only that, but when he is left in the state. after Bristol flies off for some reason or another, Levi is never allowed to care for him, even though in Alaska it is always considered preferable that a child be cared for by the non-custodial parent when the custodial parent is unavailable.
My guess would be that Bristol did not allow that so Levi could not tell the court that he spent any significant time with his son. (You know, defeats that whole "deadbeat dad" meme.)
There have been numerous games played, and I have been watching this whole thing since the beginning, and no, the games and accusations did NOT start with the Johnston family.
But nice try dipshit.
Pretty much any judge in AK is suspect! Levi bring the Youtubes of Tripp swearing and Bitchol and auntee Wallows laughing. I read that Blk thug kid got taken away? Britchol had Tripp saying way worse shit on national TeeVee!
ReplyDeleteBring the videos Levi! And also,too,
bring the ones where she says she is a "Bad parent".
I think that Levi should also make sure that his lawyer has that letter than Bristol wrote to Melissa Rivers about not being about to discipline Tripp, that he had to be bribed with popsicles. Also, Bristol wrote in her blog, asking her readers to offer parenting suggestions.
DeleteAnd a note to the "you lie" troll. These aren't lies. This is the truth, and the truth exists out there.
Levi also needs to show Sarah Palin bad mouthing him the way she has throughout the years. She's been one nasty bitch and her words should be presented in front of the judge!
DeleteJudge Heath will probably shut her up. This is only one small sampling of who she is and how she treats her daughters situation.
Deletehttp://www.tmz.com/2013/11/11/sarah-palin-levi-johnston-deadbeat-dad-child-support/
That is NO different from anything Levi said about her. ALL lies.
DeleteNow grow up.
No ones a good person here. They're all overly dramatic. And Gryphen is stupid for added drama when there is none.
Anon 1037, you're forgetting that it was the Js who first went negative and started badmouthing.
DeleteEven after Sarah and Todd defended him.
Seriously, grow up and stop poking your noses into smoething you cannot see objectively.
You're an idiot.
DeleteNothing brings out the trolls like a post about Levi.
DeleteHey Grow Up Troll, Breeze looks exactly like her 6 year old Brother. Neither looks like Bristol. Maybe the DWTS Baby looks like her mother Bristol. Is the New Baby named after Junker? Junker Palin? BWAHAHAHA, Thanks for the laughs, you are Hysterical.

That would account for all of the photos that Bristol has been posting of Tripp-- my boy, who I love more than live itself. (Or in other words, how dare you take him away from me for even one week end?) Look how Trig depends on him to feed him and play with him.
ReplyDeleteYou're an idiot. She hasn't acted any different from postings in the past. grow up
DeleteAh, Bristol's white knight(ess) has arrived. You're not doing anyone any favors. Bristol isn't worth your time or your concern. Get your own life.
DeleteAnon 11:17 (and 11:18 and 11:19)--I see you resort to name-calling when you don't have any real facts to debate with. Still not over Levi, huh?
DeleteNope, Bristol will never get over Levi. He was the only person that, at one time, truly cared for her. It doesn't matter how many bfs her Mom buys her because they could care less except for the paycheck. Of course, no one can love Bristol until Bristol starts loving herself and that will never happen, she will never get over throwing her first baby away.
Delete1:00 PM You are so right....
DeleteBristol will never get over Levi.
Now the troll is further proof of Bristol's obsession.
Levi is the one who got away. And he aint coming back.
DeleteDear Troll,
DeleteYour deliberate and constant stupidity makes you a first class asshole. You're welcome! Carry on.
Levi is a great guy! He's the best Bristol could have ever married, but she blew it!
DeleteShe doesn't deserve Levi. I hope he wins in court for Tripps sake.
Levi should show how many "trial daddies" Tripp has had, plus footage of Bristles telling him "I will find you a better Daddy" after Gino made his escape.
DeleteBristol will never get over Levi b/c he was the only guy who would marry her skanky ass twice!
DeleteJudge Heath was first appointed by Murkowski, so hopefully that's a good thing. But I'm sure if Sarah knows him personally he'll be getting a call from Todd the enforcer. If this judge is smart he'll bend over backwards to be fair because lots of folks are "watching".
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good. We hope it works out.
DeleteNow I'm NOT implying anything nefarious here but do you think it is totally out of the realm of possibilities that the judge is not somehow within her circle of friends and familiar with the Rev. Muthee? He states in his application (page 8 question 16, again) they have been a host family for an exchange student from Kenya. He was probably at the 2005 anointing of S.P., even.
Deletehttp://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6064432
Good for Levi and Sunny! I hope he has a good atty and gets set visitation that Bristol can be held accountable for if she fails to produce Tripp at the appointed times. No child should he held away from a loving parent, that is child abuse.
ReplyDeleteThis is between TWO people: the parents.
DeleteTwo people and the State of Alaska.
DeleteDon't forget the legal teams. Bristol no doubt has many, many! Levi under a handful.
DeleteAnonymous 11:16:
DeleteReally?! Then tell the SarahRetard to keep her fucking nose out of it, also, too.
SarahRet.. is exceptional. She pays the bills and manages Bristol's life. In public she may stay quiet on this one but she is Bristol's life force.
DeleteSorry, but the law says this is no longer between the parents. The state is representing the best interest of the child.
DeleteWho is Willow Wyckoff married to? When did they marry? Chris was the man Willow Palin went on a trip with, it may have been a honeymoon? There were photos, they disappeared. I think she did the TV show where she had a young boyfriend after that. All I remember was that Christopher Wyckoff was older and another snow boarder or snow mobile dude.
DeleteIs there a screen shot or link to Willow Wyckoff and the Ak Fund? How many years has she collected?
How often does Willow Palin collect? Interesting. Willow may not have had a bastard. Was Willow at the Palin's house for the bingo game?
Judge Heath may be taken off this case. He has it for now, Sarah may want it that way but he may not last.
DeleteBristol or Levi can have siblings that are the devil incarnate. So what? This troll thinks this case is between 2 people and ignores the State (all it's employees and even the janitor can steal documents and be part of it). Bristol has a big law firm and all kinds of others involved.
DeleteSo, what kind of nut case thinks it now is between the parent's siblings?
If that is the case Track and his needy buddies live with Bristol and are between the parents, the State, the law firms and everyone else with access.
When it comes to motherhood Bristol looks like turds on a skank. One of the most loving vital thing a mother does is nourish and feed a child. Bristol poisons poor Tripp. She not only stuffs him with toxic foods she has taught him the habit. It is actually an addition. Sugar, red dye, additives, everything processed and a pack of lies about hunting and fishing.
DeleteA parent that is too lazy to care about a child's foundation and nourishment is not a loving or caring parent.
The only meal Bristol proves that she cares about is her meal ticket to riches and fame. Exploitation is all she knows and she is stuck for life because she can't learn and grow.
Does Tripp go to a preschool or kindergarten? I have never seen any evidence of that child in any kind of a school setting. Oh, maybe The Chin is homeschooling him? Bwhwhwhwhwaaaaa
DeleteHopefully, someone is giving Levi suggestions and information that will be beneficial to him. He is going to need it against the Palin klan! They are all such snakes!
ReplyDeleteGrow up. This is an easy case really. And it's pretty run of the mill so far, with each party filing the appropriate documents. Gryphen is desperate for comments and to add drama to an otherwise undramatic thing.
DeleteI think it will prove to be quite interesting. Too bad it isn't being heard by the same judge who told sarah and toad to quit bad mouthing her sister's husband in front of his kids. She's been doing the same shit with Tripp and his father. Dumb twunt needs to butt out.
DeleteSo, "grow-up" troll--if it is all so easy, run-of-the-mill and undramatic--why are you all over this thread?
DeleteBristol has held those informal visitations over Levi's head since the beginning. She even tried to set him up on her failed reality tv show (just another example of what a bad mother she is). More than one of the Heath-Palin crew has publicly called Levi a deadbeat dad; Sarah called him a pornographer. There is a ton of drama, but at least this time around, maybe Levi will make it a fair fight.

Hey assfuck! I thought you said this was between two people? Now STFU dumb cunt! It must be brillows!
Hey look, Tripp's takin' a photo with a fish! I guess grandma would approve...
ReplyDeleteBristol has lots of his with fish.
DeleteI think Levi does have a good attorney this time. If the judge is working for the Palins, especially for the Palins only, there will not be any best interest of the child. No decent judge would have a young father with limited funds have to go thousands of miles to care for his child. TMZ and a few other in media are the only ones that pay any attention to the Palins now and they are 96% slanted toward the Palins and 100% unreasonably vicious toward Levi. TMZ was calling Tripp Tripp Palin at one time. No judge in their right mind would pay any attention to them.
ReplyDeleteHas Bristol returned to Arizona and the school her mother has bought off for her to flack yet still get a skin diploma. And all kinds of great lies in the media about her faux accomplishments.

Grow up. Stepparents are just that. They aren't parents. Neither Sunny nor Joey act like PARENTS to this boy.
DeleteYOU need to growup
Remember too, if this gets into the payment of monthly child support, Bristol will have to provide her income tax returns as will Levi. They will get into employment, etc. Bristol's income is higher than Levi's and his child support payment will likely be reduced. They won't just ask for one income tax return either!
DeleteApart from Bristol's hoax about abstinence, Joey Junker may not even be recognized in a court of law as a trial husband. That was gobbledy-gook Palin speak. She can either prove she is/was married to a judge or she is sleeping with a boyfriend. In those cases the other parent does have a say if they care to take up the matter.
DeleteLevi always wanted to speak well of Bristol and not make references to any sex or her reputation as a whore or slut. He may not care what Tripp is exposed to in that regard. If he does care about his son in that way, he has rights.
Bristol can produce a marriage license to the court if she wants to have sex with whatever man she picks out.
Joes is not a step parent. He is one of the people she and Tripp travel with and share rooms.
Tripp can be required to talk to a psychiatrist. He won't lie unless he has been drilled to lie. A good Dr. can spot that. Tripp knows how the sleeping arrangements go. It doesn't have to be public but the matters should be address and Tripp's world made more age appropriate and wholesome. It is in his best interest.
Sunny is a step parent.
Joey isn't a step parent. Joey is one more young man Bristol has introduced to Tripp as a possible "new dad." A fair judge would look at Bristol's very public examples of her mothering skills (or lack of) and give custodial custody to Levi.
DeleteBristles will have to verify her income, like what she earns from the dermatologist office she has worked in since HS. (yeah, right) Also, too, how much she earns from her ghost writer writing "her" blog. This is going to be very interesting.

Hey "Grow up"Troll since you seem to have a lot of info, When did Brillows drop the last kid? She was preg in JUNE. Where did "it" go?
What is its name?
Or what christian charity or family took the kid? How much does a palin spawn sell for on the black market? Inquiring minds like to know.
Since Brillows are both baby factories...
Hopefully the new attorney will be able help right the wrongs perpetrated by Bristol and her skag faux mother. Tripp deserves to spend more regular time with his dad and family--that isn't just whenever Bristol feels like it.
ReplyDeleteThe Palins are nothing but scum in their vindictiveness and faux "living life vibrantly" screeches. They are bottom-feeders, liars extraordinaire and haven't been acquainted with honesty, truth, decency or love. This is one f'cked up "family" with no redeeming values whatsoever.
You ignore how nasty his sister has been. Weird. NO ONE has been perfect. Yes Levi let selfish handlers use him for money and put words in his mouth. Yes Levi let ghost writers make him a liar.
DeleteYes the two of them lied, posed nude and acted immaturely.
You cannot condemn one side and not the other. Sadie and Levi are not wholly good.
If you want to pray for someone, pray for the girl who's never had a job, who's copying her sister in laws career, who's last bf dumped her and befriended the other side. Yes, Sadie needs guidance. and to be told how not to lie.
Hopefully a mediator will be able to sit them BOTH (two) down, explain the hurt EACH has caused, and they can talk about Tripp's future. Tripp is a blessed boy who has had an amazing 5 years.
DeleteThere's no reason with understanding and compassion that won't continue.
But YOU as the public must understand that the johnstons are not perfect, nor are they "good." There's a lot Levi doesn't know about his sister and her actions and a lot Levi denies about himself.
amazing 5 years.
DeleteAn amazing 5-6 years of a bad diet can be hell to pay. I do not see how it is good for Tripp. Amazing for his self centered mother maybe since her parents have purchased her to enrich their brand. They don't even care that she fails, they just keep buying her more resume padding.
The case may not be weird yet, I hope it doesn't go that way. I think the Palins are told to zip it and no drama so they may redirect their manipulations for now.
DeleteThey all continue to be public figures. Even Tripp is a reality TV star with world wide name recognition. He is not only known for his mother getting knocked up and her abstinence position and all that. He is a world famous bastard in the Biblical sense. And he is the center of two famous or infamous people struggling over him, as if to say what is in his best interest. We'll see. There is hope for him now.
People discuss child custody when there is no abuse involved and this is a very public situation with a very abusive family that has gone on record. Before Tripp was born, the family documented their tendencies with abuse.
No one is talking about what goes on in a closed court hearing. People will discuss all the other as much as they need or want. Speculation is fine. Free speech remember?
Tripp doesn't read. Bristol and Levi will be advised by their lawyers and they are adults who can choose what they read and do.
As far as the public is concerned they are free to discuss this and all things related, however they like, as long as they don't make threats or break laws.
Fools that come here to complain or be trite are wasting their own time. No one has to pay them any attention if they don't want.
Bristol quit skin school? How would you know. You make her sound so unstable and flaky. She has no business having any custody. If she isn't just a ho that sleeps with trial men she should get monitored visitation.
DeleteBristol was to finish school after the first of the year. Her mother lies and cheats and can buy her credentials whether she ever attended school so her fans shouldn't worry about that part.
Judge Heath may not share DNA but he is related through Rev. Muthee. It is more of a Cult relationship. Sister Sarah and the like. It is possibly much worse then a blood relation loyalty. Cults have power in numbers and their own enforcers.
Delete11:27 AM You have a 'hard on' for Mercede Johnston, or is it a secret admiration? She is not involved in the case, so why pick on her? On the other hand, should all of Bristol's 1/2 Siblings be brought into this?
Delete11:13 AM Does Sadie have Bastard Babies all over the place? Have you seen Sadie wearing a Scarf to hide a pregnancy? Has Sadie made a fool of herself on a Reality Show like you Palins? You Wasillabilly Clowns have had so many Secret Pregnancies that you can't keep up with your LIES. Are any of you 'working' for Pimp Daddy Todd Palin ? That seems to be your only talent.

DeleteMaybe Levi has grown big enough balls to go against Sarah ...

DeleteIt's time to stop scapegoating. this isn't a weird case. It's the end result of an unstable relationship where the girl never trusted the boy and has deep issues not having her baby by her side.
throw in lies from each side and typical shit and you've got a normal case minus 20 years of marital troubles.
Maybe. But I don't think this is a test. We have no idea what kind of pressures on are Levi, nor all the things he has done that don't make the news. I think it's totally unfair to a young man to have his manhood measured by his ability to fight corrupt politics.
Delete11:25. Lest we forget, Bristle 'chose' the father of her child and she's stuck with her own poor judgment if she has decided that she now 'hates' him and has developed 'issues'. BTW, Tripp Johnston is NOT a baby. His mom acts more like a baby than the young boy.
DeleteNot sure why you and your troll patrol are so up in the air about 'lies' when it's the full-time motus operandi of the entire Palin klan. We're tired of the lies, we're tired of the Palins, we're tired of paid trolls trying to defend the indefensible acts of this grifting throng.
has deep issues not having her baby by her side.
DeleteWould that be her first baby mama done stole out from under her????
Tripp is the best thing that happened to Bristol because he became her meal ticket (and ticket to fame). She has been exploiting him even before he was born.
DeleteThe judge needs to ask Tripp how old he is, when his birthday is, why he is not in school full time. I bet that kid is confused, having to lie about his REAL age, etc.
Delete11:25 AM It has never been between 2 people. Sarah Palin has injected herself into the 'SQUIRMISH'(sic) since day one. You so conveniently forget all of the public comments made by Sarah Palin regarding Levi Johnston. Yet Sarah and Todd have been Silent on the Sex Trafficking Rings of Todd Palin and the Rehab of Oxycontin addicted Track Menard. Fraud was committed by Sarah and Todd for claiming Menard's 2 children(Track and Piper) on Todd's Native Health Care. And don't come back with your
DeleteLibel/Slander Bullshit. A DNA Test is the only way to prove me wrong, and YOU don't have that authority. Track and Piper are the only Tall members of the Palin Family and they both look like their Dad, Curt Menard Jr.
259, Why would a judge ask a child that has been lied to? He may ask Tripp and after he will check with the dates that Levi swears to for the court and the date on the birth certificate. Levi is an adult. He has a birth certificate for his child that he can present and verify as correct or ask for it to be corrected.
DeleteI have no way of knowing what is going on with Levi when it comes to Tripp's factual birth date. He has said the Palin official story is correct. If it is correct then that is that. If not correct and Levi doesn't want to rock the Palin boat, the whole family on both sides can keep secrets and lie to Tripp for his whole life.
I only know Levi says he loves Tripp. That may not be a love that is honest. Levi may be suckered into thinking he must go one with lies.
It takes amazing strength to stand up for the truth. That is the love that would benefit Tripp. If Tripp is short changed with secrets and being lied about and to by his own family.... It will cause him grave destruction over time.

ReplyDeleteTheres nothing weird about this case. Nothing dramatic yet. Why are you trying to say there is? It's just routine stuff, the beginning stages.
ReplyDeleteIt's time WE let THEM handle their issues. Just because you live in the same state doesn't mean you can offer an opinion on such a private issue.
I thought Sarah Palin said, recently, that she is a "freedom of speech type of gal". Shouldn't you also be?
DeleteWE don't LET anybody do or not do anything. It is stupid of YOU to think that WE have that kind of power over Levi & Bristol's situation. This is just a blog and YOU have an opinion just like every one else here commenting.

ReplyDeleteGrow the f up. These kids are far more mature than you.
so are you saying the kids are in Alaska, but Levi isn't having contact with Tripp? or are the kids with their father? or something else?
DeleteDid Bristol really have to go all the way to Arizona to go to "skin school"? Did Bristol ask Levi if it would be okay for her to take their son out of state for such a long period? Is Trigg also in school in Arizona?
DeleteBeaglemom
School or birthing? BTW, who is Chris Wyckoff? I've read that there was a Willow Wyckoff who did receive the Alaskan Fund but, Willow Palin did not, and she should have been able to receive that fund since she was going to school; albeit in Arizona.
DeleteCome on troll, let's hear some truth.
That's interesting. Did mayor or governor Sarah marry off daughter number two also too??
DeleteYou think it's healthy for a boy to be away from his father for weeks at a time? Bristol should have found a "skin school" in Alaska. It's cruel to unnecessarily separate Tripp and Levi. And considering what we've heard Bristol say about Levi in front of Tripp, we can only imagine what she says to Tripp in private.
DeleteIt's an asshole move on Bristol's part.
And it's the reason why Levi has to go back to court, so Bristol can't randomly take Tripp out of state.
Anyone else can see this. The only reason you don't is because you're hopelessly devoted to Bristol.
Bristol can only go to school or work where her parents arrange things for her. You see how Willow does hair? Same with Bristol. The Palins have things on people or buy their way so the Palin myth can go on. It is all fake.
DeleteQueen Ester doesn't need to go to church, she is holy. If the judge is part of the Cult that is serious. Levi might be taken in by some of the xtian myths and the Cult. He may be fine with it. Too bad for Tripp and all the children.
DeleteTri-pp should have been in School over a year ago. He is at least 6 years old. The Court records are public, and Tri-pp's date of birth should be available for all to see. Who are you going to try to payoff to keep those records sealed, Sarah Palin? Will Bristol have to divulge her other babies? Will Bristol's care of her other babies be brought up? Will Bristol's numerous Trial Daddies be subpoenaed? There will be many questions asked in Court, and we will all be watching. Maybe Tri-g's Paternity will be questioned. Get your Popcorn ready!!!
DeleteI hope, Levi finds those pictures of Bar$tool using his book as a shooting target, and Tripp being by her side...
Deleteeveryone knows Bristol must still be in school - she's been attending for 2 years to get a 20 week certificate...
Deleteexactly like her mom who attended school for 6 years but doesn't even have an Ass-hociates degree. It's not for lack of trying....to f'k all the teachers.

Delete11:23 AM Sadie gets to you? It is comical that you bring Sadie into your Stupid Diatribes. At least Sadie is not dropping babies from her vagina like a Rat In Heat. Clean up your Life of Multiple Babies with no Daddies before you try to degrade Sadie, Tramp. People in Wasilla remember Dylan Kolvig, Trig's Daddy. Drug and Alcohol use by two parents
Deleteconceiving a baby causes FAS. You, Bristol and your Lifestyle caused Tri-g's condition. The Truth is the enemy of all things Palin. You didn't even know if Levi was the Father of Tri-pp until he was born. You were Fucking everything in arms' reach. You were just like your Mama. Willow followed in your footsteps. Is Piper on her way to Bastard birthing?

It's funny how Bristol once told Levi Rex was bad news. how stupid are teens boys. Levi was led into saying all the shittalk. He SMILED as he called a little retarded and badmouthed people.

People on the net need to step back, and get themselves lives. you know nothing about nothing and are making a normal custody thing into drama to fill your empty lives.
Obviously you are too stupid to realize that you are adding to what you claim other people are doing.
DeleteTeenaged Levi was stupid enough to have unprotected sex with Bristol.
Delete11:29, The 12 year old uneducated troll. Liebell must have finally passed out.
DeleteHow stupid are teen boys? Just as stupid as teen girls.
You really need to just stop telling everybody else what to do and tend to your pathetic little self. You are nobody's boss.This is not your blog. Go start your very own blog where you can be the boss.
Speaking of empty livs, You, Troll have been on the internet for at least 20 hrs. Don't you have a Life? You are a crazed, dangerous stalker. You are in a Fantasy world of made up stories. Had Sex lately? You are stressed out about matters that are not Your Business. Your Sequestered Life is as Empty as your Head. Your are stalking Levi, Sunny, Mercede, and the Palins. Hopefully you will step into a sinkhole soon.
Delete11:29: What the hell kind of word salad is that?
DeleteIs English your first language?
DeleteStupid Teen Boys? How about stupid teens who think they're invincible? There's STD's out there that can kill a teen who has unprotected sex.
DeleteAt least Levi grew up, and got married to a beautiful woman, living a vibrant life and no longer sleeping around with anyone who says "Yeah, sure, why not?"
Does Levi know where his son is? Does he know about what pre-schools he attends? Tripp's attendance is steady?
ReplyDeleteThe Palins are surrounded by a cult 27/7, whether they call if family, it operates as a cult. A good parent would want to know what school or schools their child attends. The people that watch the child when he is not with his mother. The courts are involved with religious differences and exposure to cults and such when the differences are disruptive or disturbing.
There are parents that are told not to sleep with boyfriends when the child is in the house. Levi might be alright with Tripp's travels with Joey and Bristol but if he wants something better for his son, he has a right to deal with that.
Everybody knows Bristol lies. Bristol won't make it easy but it can be done if Levi cares about his sons development, sexuality and relationships.
The judge should interview all the trial daddies, Ben, Gino, Joey that Tripp has had. Maybe others we have not heard about, like one night stands. Poor kid needs stability in his life, not a brothel with temps. daddies in and out all the time.
DeleteWhoa! SOMEBODY struck a nerve somewhere.

DeleteIndeed! Who let the troll out? Same troll on all the blogs...same bullshit and same CAPS, oh my ... must be true then since the word(s) are emphasized in CAPS!!!
DeleteKristy and/or Willow is my guess.
$arah has lots of free time to troll these days since her 'career' tanks every time she tries to do anything for a 'living'. The poor dear can't find a decent or real job since she quit her last one.
DeleteShe was lucky in the past to have a pack of loyal cronies who got her into all those cushy government teat jobs. Now she and everyone else realizes she isn't qualified to be hired for even an entry level staff job for any of those former positions she was handed.
All that remains is her numerous and desperate attempts to be a KarTrashian type celeb which have gotten pretty scarce since it has been revealed that everything about her is fake, phony and fishy.
Does Sarah pay on of her dissociative personalities postage money to troll the blogs??
DeleteYes TexasMel at 11:40, when the trolls come out in force, like they have on this "Levi Fights Back" post, you know someone is furious. Who is upset the most? Bristol who has never gotten over Levi, Sarah who wants everyone to stay under her controlling thumb or a Palin stalker?
DeleteI have read all the comments (56 at this point) and find it VERY interesting that three of them, all posted in less than15 minutes this AM (11:13, 11:23 and 11:27) bad mouth or criticize Sadie. Is it just because she is Levi's sister or does she know too much? Will she be asked about Tripp's relationship with his father?
Remember when Sadie had her own blog? I found it interesting and well written. I also recall that her computer was scrubbed and now she's gone silent. I check in at IM every day and Sadie hasn't been mentioned in ages by anyone. However, now three times? Hmmmmm.
The resident troll sure is busy.
ReplyDeleteYep, troll uber manic today. Repetition sure is a big booger.
DeleteYep. Same old, "Grow up, you lie,etc." Bet it's Wallow, or maybe Peeper. Gotta earn those "postage" fees ya know.
DeleteYep it's burning up those "postage" costs at a high rate the last few days
DeleteTroll certainly is taking this thread personal.
DeleteI believe it's still Patullo. She has more to say on this subject than any Palin. It's part of her mental illness.
DeleteThat's a lot of crazy.
DeleteOne, who I won't name, but we all know who I'm referencing, must have spent three days on huff po with the same old bullshit. If I were Bristol, I'd be scared out of my skin at the crap she keeps repeating.
DeleteIf the judge has ties to the Palins' crazy-ass church then he would know (as everyone in the Palins' former congregational community knows) that they do not have a church any more, that for five years they've been too busy to attend church.
ReplyDeleteIt won't surprise me but it sure will be funny when Bristol tries to make out that she's some kind of saint, working her ass off 24 hours a day at her job with the skin doctor and studying her ass off 25 hours a day at skin school and going to Wasilla Bible Church 26 hours a day.... yeah, she'll go there. She'll claim that everything she said on her awful reality show was scripted blah blah but you only have to watch five minutes of it to know it completely abused a small child.
Judge Heath: http://www.courtrecords.alaska.gov/webdocs/alaskajudges/glh.pdf

His name was in the comment section of another blog. I don't feel comfortable putting it out there. I just hope he's aware of how the Palins operate and isn't in their pocket.

haha! nice try. He has a 2.9 peer rating and a 4.2 client rating at Lawyers.com. He has a 6.5 from one client at Avvo.
DeleteHey, I hope he gets Levi everything he deserves but am cautious about him choosing the best attorney for the job...especially with that judge and in AK. The law may be the law but not always true in AK. Levi has been TOTALLY burned in the past.
The fact that he keeps trying is admirable. Believe you me, Tripp WILL grow up see the truth. God help that bitch when he does.
DeleteHe's related to Sarah Heath~Palin???
DeleteShe's gone back to Heath, after dropping her pimp's name.
Krusty, if you ever had a bit of fucking sense, it's gone entirely. Seriously, you have now lost your goddam mind. You and your ilk make the Palins look even worse than Sarah and Bristol manage to make themselves appear. You are a fucking nutcase who is obsessed with your fantasy friendship with Bristol. Do your mom and your sisters a favor and seek help.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand Bristol. If she gave Tripp to Levi then Bristol can get her fuck on 24/7.
ReplyDeleteWith the Palins, it's all about being vindictive, and playing the victim card.
DeleteBristles is STILL trying to get a reality show for herself and Tripp AGAIN. How many have to fail before she realises that she has no TALENT?
DeleteDarn straight, 3;14 PM, the troll is full of shit.
DeleteTMZ is full of shite. They make it seem like Levi is saying his son is named "Tripp Palin"

TMZ is a wholly owned subsidiary of SarahPAC. What a DUMB show!!
DeleteWhat's up the Troll telling everyone to grow up. Troll, we are grown up and we are exercising our First Amendment right to speak our minds. We cannot yell "Fire" in a crowded theater, but other than that, we are free to speak.
ReplyDeleteI think Levi should have full custody of his son. He is happily married with a family and a job and could give his son the stability that he is lacking. Children thrive on routine.
Hey Troll. I don't much feel like growing up. And I have a very juvenile rhyme for your friend Bristol. Here is it:
ReplyDeleteTwinkle twinkle little slut,
Name a guy you haven't fucked,
Was he thin?
Was he tall?

DeleteMostly OT, but a heart-warming story of a little girl with Down's who is on her way to reaching her full potential with the love and support of parents who are committed to getting her the support she needs.
ReplyDeleteAll of this battling over the cute "normal" kid...the tragedy is that nobody can be bothered to lift a finger for the "retarded one" now that he is no longer a useful prop.
Bingo.
DeleteThe politician went on to joke: "I'm no Mario Lopez and I'm no Bristol Palin, I'd be clomping around and falling down all over the dance floor, man. I wouldn't make it past the judges [on] day one."
ReplyDeletePalin did reveal that she has ambitions to host a daytime chat show in the future.
"That would probably would be a fun opportunity, as long as I got to pick the subject matter and got to talk to more inspiring people out there to help empower others," she said.
http://www.cosmopolitan.com/_mobile/celebrity/news/sarah-palin-not-on-dancing-with-the-stars
Sarah said she's no Bristol Palin! A deaf dumb retard would pray they're not Bristol Palin. That shows you how lucky we were that McCain lost. Sarah thinks Bristol is a good dancer? Retard paleeeaaaasssee.
Palin will never host an type of live tv show. She is completely incapable of thinking unless thoughts are piped into her ear via a ear bud. She cannot hold a conversation of any length PERIOD!
DeleteYeah, I can see it now. "Daytime Chat with Sarah Palin"
DeleteWith "Sing along with mitch" word sausage ghostwritten translations along the bottom.
Would be a great replacement for waterboarding or EST.
"Follow the bouncing ball!"
DeleteGood one, Anita!
The judge should recuse himself. How can he remain on the case with ties to Palin?
ReplyDeleteBristol perjured herself on the stand in David Kernell's trial. Lied about being scared home alone when she had SS protection. You think she won't at a custody trial??
ReplyDeleteAnd before you jump on me, resident troll, those are FACTS and I have no interest in their blow-by-blow personal business. Here's a "time-tested truth" for ya: "A leopard never changes its spots."
Judge Heath has already been called out for favors. There are possibly more. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to have him removed from a Palin family case. Especially if there are church members and connections. He may do the right thing and step down. We'll see.

DeleteFrom what I can tell, Gregory L. Heath seems to be from California. He went to school in Montana. No known blood relation to Sarah's family. The church part is creepy enough.
DeleteThanks for clearing that up.
DeleteOverall, that picture looks like no one cared that much about whoever the cup cakes and candles were to celebrate. Somethings were thrown together, who knows why? I doubt Bristol remembers. It is some old image that works to look like Tripp had a party. It may have been on his real birthday or one of his nanny's or a cult cousin. It is typical inept Palin moose poo, repeat, repeat, repeat mistakes. That is what they do.
DeleteCan you imagine if Tripp had been able to celebrate his birthday with the Johnstons?
Gryphen: has Sunny asked for financial help for this issue? I believe, a lawyer is quite expensive, and am not sure, if those two can really afford (a decent) lawyer. Also, too, sounds like the lawyer they got is NOT a family lawyer. :(
ReplyDeleteDo Sunny and Levi need financial help on this matter? Can any of us help? I would be more than happy to donate! They would need to obtain legal advice on it, I would think, and set up a specific account for the funds.

COUPLE WANTS TO ERASE CASE OF BOGUS WARRANT.

I respect Levi as a young man who learned from his mistakes and has moved forward, responsible to his family and himself. He is a man of integrity, strength, and love for his family.
ReplyDeleteI am an old woman and made lots of mistakes, although I did not often handle the aftermath with as much circumspection and redirection.
I hope Levi will able to have a regular scheduled time with Tripp, time they can both count on.
Bristol is just mean, and determined to make others, even her own son, pay for her mistakes.
Gotta give Levi some credit. At least he's trying. He never publicly accused his baby's mom of doing something she didn't. He's pretty much kept himself out of the spotlight. The truth is, Bristol can bitch all she wants to, but SHE picked Levi to be the father of her child.
ReplyDeleteShe's the one who's exploited Tripp every chance she could, and made money doing it. I hope his new lawyer takes a long, close read of her book and watches her reality shows frame by frame. Same with her "Faith" blog. She's put so very many examples of poor parenting on her part in the public eye, while Levi's done little, if any and has always had Tripp's best interest at heart.
The thing with social media, books and the media in general, they never go away and can't be changed. Someone's always got a screen grab and the way back machine.
Good Luck, Levi. Get your payments adjusted and stand your ground on your rights to father your son the best and as often as you can.
Levi loves his kid more than he loathes his kid's mother. Can't say that about the baby mama.

Delete+2
DeleteLevi has far more support in this matter than does Bristol. She and her mother have been such bitches publically about him! America has learned they are both HORRID mothers!
DeleteGo get um, Levi. You have your rights and your son needs your influence and unquestioned love and support! Plus, you have a loving marriage and lifestyle that he can benefit from on a more consistent basis!
Gryphen you wrote, "In fact he did not even go through CSSD to start his child support payments, which is what ALL divorced parents are encouraged to utilize to keep things fair and to ensure accountability".
ReplyDeleteWould this mean that Levi is a divorced parent? Or does this CSSD involve unmarried couples too?
Levi's child support payment are incredibly high for a young 18 or 19 year-old man to have to pay out, when he did not legally marry the mother. Do all teenagers who father children out of wedlock have to pay child support until the children are 18 years of age? Is this just Alaska?
Well that's disturbing.
ReplyDeleteWould this mean that Levi is a divorced parent?
ReplyDeleteIs Christopher Wyckoff a married parent? Married and then divorced? It would be interesting to learn who Willow Wyckoff is and how many babies she has?
If Willow was set up in a secret marriage, Why couldn't something similar happened with Bristol? Young people don't make all the arrangements to keep things secret. Either marriage could have been orchestrated by Sarah Palin with Todd the enforcer.
No no Bristol and Levi were not married.
DeleteI simply meant that divorcing parents are sent to CSSD, which was true in my case. But so are unwed parents who have a custody arrangement.

ReplyDeleteThis was said to be Tripp's last birthday. From Brancy. It is in stark contrast to the pink picture Bristol uploaded of her birthday. Why does Tripp have only 3 candles?
ReplyDeletehttp://wp.patheos.com.s3.amazonaws.com/blogs/bristolpalin/files/2014/01/Trip-bday_n1.jpg
Also, too, look at all the garbage on the counter behind him. No home cooked food for him, that's for sure. Instead, some cheap take-out pizza and tons of candy next to the store bought cupcakes. So much for Bristles being a confectioner baker (remember the picture of her with the tons of 'home baked cakes' in her first condo?)
DeleteIn the photo of Tripps last birthday there are only three candles - he is obviously well over three years of age......but there are 8 cupcakes.
DeleteInteresting

Levi has strong genes, both of his kids look alike. Either Todd Palin has weak genes, or Sarah Palin has some 'splaining' to do about Track Menard and Piper PIG Menard.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Willow, Bristol and Track lacks a lot of get up and go. Not sure about Piper yet. Sarah is just a scammer with her Pac, books , failed reality shows and everything else. Right now it looks like Sarah is setting up her kids to work for her by combing her hair and putting on her make up. Those fuckwads are still living off of mama's coattails.

The agreement, announced Wednesday, makes the Sportsman Channel the official network of the nearly 1,000-mile race from Anchorage to Nome. The race, billed as the world's longest, hasn't had a network deal since 2009. The channel intends on ''blowing out the event in a way on TV that hasn't been done before, pretty much unprecedented coverage on our end,'' said Marc Fein, executive vice president of programming and production for the Sportsman Channel.

DeleteHate to say it, but I don't think the majority of Alaskans have a high interest in the Iditarod anymore! It was a huge deal years ago, but has been losing it's popularity.
ReplyDeleteThe Sportsman Channel carrying it is NOT going to be a big deal!
