Bristol, Levi Agree on Custody of Son

(CBS/ AP)  Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have reached a custody agreement for their toddler son, Tripp.

The 19-year-old daughter of former Republican vice presidential candidate and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin earlier this month called off her re-engagement to the 20-year-old Johnston.

On Friday, Palin family attorney Thomas Van Flein confirmed a report that the couple have agreed on custody. He says Palin gets primary physical custody of the little boy and they share legal custody, subject to her resolution if they can't agree.

The lawyer adds that Johnston gets visitation on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Van Flein says Johnston will pay child support based on anticipated earnings of $72,000 per year.

A report of the agreement appeared on TMZ.com.

The couple broke off their first engagement soon after Tripp was born in December 2008.

They ended their second only weeks after it was announced.

Bristol told People magazine what happened this time.

Betsy Gleick, People's executive editor, said to CBS News, "What Bristol told People is that, on the very day that the world learned they were going to get married, Levi came home and said to her that he may have gotten another woman pregnant."

Bristol said in People that the final straw came when Levi was spending more time trying to get a reality show than being a father. She said, "He's just obsessed with the limelight and I got played."

Who cares what the hell they do,I sure don't but I would like to know how does a kid that age make $72,000 yr?Sounds like repigs are getting over somebody again.but sure wish I could get some of that kool aid.

The $72,000 estimate is too low if anything because he made over $100,000+ last year in his tv appearances, magazine interviews, and his nude photoshoot in Playgirl. He will likely make just as much or more this year especially if his reality show does well. (I really doubt that it does. I think it'll be cancelled after the first episode.)

Wow, the Palin family is managing to breed with people dumber than they are...this is serious news indeed.

[OnTheRoad01]

I would like for someone to explain to me, why dose whatever these two idiots do rate national news media time?????? If this is the most important news item that some news people can find to report on then we need to fire some news people!!!!

[AMVG]

Many of you commented that CBS shouldn't waste their time reporting on Bristol Palin and Levi..yet, all of you read this report and commented on it...
That is why CBS reported on this story because people like you read it...
Palins are doing great... and it sounds like some of you jealous of their success..

POOR LEVI. HUGE CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS FOR 18 YEARS. YOUR A REAL STUD LEVI WITH A MUCH LIGHTER WALLET.

[JV1970]

I hope it gets even lighter! I hope she goes after the back child support money that he owes her!

"He's just obsessed with the limelight and I got played." she said in her second magazine interview in two weeks, and she claims HE's obsessed with the limelight, go find a mirror honey and see who's obsessed.

[JV1970]

She's not the one who stripped naked in Playgirl!

[boatdocster]

Who really cares? The entire Palin family is a walking train wreck.

[americalovesliberals]

The baby is not Levis'. The father of Bristol's baby is Bristol's father. The baby's father and grandfather are the same.

Levi, you are too good for Bristol. You are so lucky that you didn't marry into that wack-o family.

[JV1970]

Can you prove what you've said? Could you prove it in court before a judge if the Palins were to find out who you are? If you can't then you shouldn't print lies and you should keep your filthy opinion to yourself! You could be in real trouble if the Palins find out who you are!

Oh yeah? Can they produce a birth certificate as proof? Oh, and we won't be accepting the one produced from the state of birth because they are known to lie!
