Sarah Palin appointed judge rejects Levi Johnston's petition for equal custody. False! Update!

Alaska judge Gregory L. Heath, who was appointed to the bench by Governor Sarah Palin in 2009, last week dismissed Levi Johnston’s petition for equal custody of the four-year-old. 

Johnston, 23, filed a petition for custody last October saying Tripp should be in his mother’s and father’s lives equally. 

The dyspeptic couple had otherwise agreed when they split in 2010 that Bristol, 23, would have primary physical custody. 

In the wake of Levi’s sudden court filing, Bristol said he was $67,000 behind in child support and was not a fit dad because he didn’t even visit Tripp on a regular basis, RadarOnline reported. Ex- GOP VP candidate Sarah even went so far as to call Levi a “deadbeat dad.” (By the way Levi is NOT $67,000 in arrears and he always tried to visit with Tripp but was rebuffed at every turn.)

And when it came to his bid for custody, Levi was just as disorganized. He never filed an opposition to Bristol’s motion to dismiss but then asked the Palmer Superior Court judge for an extension, but only until after he blew the deadline. 

Finally, the judge said he would hear their argument for a extension… but eventually denied their motion. Case closed.

Yeah well this case is NOT closed.

I don't know who sent Radar Online and the National Enquirer this information but it is not correct.

According to Court View the 2009 case has been reopened and Judge Heath is no longer assigned to the case. The new judge is Kari Kristiansen. And SHE was appointed by Frank Murkowski.

Gee I wonder who gave the tabloids the wrong information? Hmmm?

Update: Sunny has just responded to the Radar Online article:

Ive never read comments or commented on things like this but here's what I will say... Kristy its sad how you are a known palin/johnston stalker and you still have bad things to say about Levi. I post about my life every day online and I know for a fact that you know that Levi works 35-45 hour weeks an electrician for the past two and a half years, and tries to see his son all the time. You can see from the pictures that Tripp and Levi have an amazing bond and love each other more than anything. You should have heard them talking on the phone the other night. Cutest thing ever.. Levi's story hasn't changed from day one.. its simply. "I want my son." Hes always said that and showed that in many ways. Have you seen his room here (Dr. phill) There's nothing that boy has at his moms that he doesn't have here. Levi does not owe $67,000 in child support. He just recently scraped up over 40,000 grand in deposited child support checks to her and Cssd contacted her and didn't like the fact that she lied, claiming shed never been paid. Levi has been paying 1200 a month to her for 5 months, not on top of that 40,000, and has paid a total of over 60,000 in lawyer fees since Tripp has been born. In what way would he only be doing all of this to reduce child support? I'm ecstatic to tell you that we FINALLY have an amazing lawyer that is an honest good man and will get this taken care of asap! the 2013 case is closed and the 2009 case is open again. This article is false.. Judge Heath is not our judge anymore because were going back to the old case. The case is not closed at all and far from. But you know what? nothing that you or any of you say matters. What matters is that Levi will be in his son's life soon and nothing will be better for Tripp than having both of his parents in his life:) Even if we start out 4 times a month and work our way up that is more than Levi has ever been allowed in his son's life and it will be awesome. He is so loved here and we all can't wait to have him back:) 

Oooh, she even called out Bristol's personal troll for being a troll. I like it.

Your move Palins.
