Bristol Palin says Levi Johnston owes nearly 39k dollars in child support

Washington, Apr 8 (ANI): Bristol Palin has alleged that her ex Levi Johnston, father of her 3-year-old son Tripp, hasn't paid child support in 22 months.

According to court records, Johnston is required to pay 1,750 dollars a month, which makes his outstanding balance 38,500 dollars.

The daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin hasn't attempted to enforce the court's order by wage garnishment or other means.

"We forbore pursuing child support collection in the (perhaps naive) hope that Mr Johnston would do what men are supposed to do and pay his support obligation voluntarily," Tmz quoted her lawyer as saying.

"We were also concerned that garnishment or other aggressive collection efforts could exacerbate an already strained relationship," he added. (ANI)
