Van Flein: Bristol Palin pleased with court ruling in child support case

*
A judge in Palmer, Alaska Thursday granted child support for Bristol Palin, set a trial date for further deliberations, and urged her and Levi Johnston to try to resolve their differences on their own:
Judge Kari C. Kristiansen encouraged Palin and Levi Johnston, both 19, to work with a judge who specializes in such matters in a settlement conference and not go to trial. She set a court date for Sept. 23-24.

Kristiansen approved child support for Palin retroactive to the day the child was born.
TMZ has reported that the judge ruled that Johnston must pay $1,688.42 a month in support, retroactive to their son Tripp's birth in December of 2008. Bristol had been seeking nearly $1,700 a month. Her lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, said:
"Bristol is pleased with the court rulings today and looks forward to resolving the remaining issues with Levi."
The hearing, which Bristol attended but Levi did not, lasted about 20 minutes. Judge Kristiansen told Rex Butler, Johnston's lawyer, that it would have been better if his client had participated.

  1. If Levi doesn't get anymore stripping gigs, he's going to have a problem. Him being a useful idiot for the Palin hating kooks can only go so far. Levi better start putting those applications for some employment, he's going to need it. After shelling out $ 1,688 a month, maybe he'll have enough to afford a cardboard box and a can of off brand beans and rice.
