Levi Johnston To Fight For Joint Custody

Levi Johnston is getting ready to take legal action to gain joint custody of 10-month-old Tripp – his only child with his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend Bristol Palin.

Bristol, daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, and Levi were engaged to be married before their relationship came to and end in March.

Levi told The Insider that he will be seeking joint custody at the end of November 2009 because the Palin family is apparently making it very difficult for him to see his child.

It’s not working. I’m done. It’s going to have to go to court. They just finally pushed me over the edge.

The relationship between the Palin family and the Johnstons has taken a particularly nasty turn over the last few months, especially after Levi’s Vanity Fair interview where he dished on the inner workings of the Palin household.

Sarah also voiced her opinion about her would-be son-in-law posing for Playgirl, saying, “Those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention.”
