Levi Johnston was recently ordered to pay an extra $3500 in back child support to his baby mama, Bristol Palin. And while the 19-year-old will try to comply with the judge’s order, he’s not happy about having to pay so much, his lawyer Rex Butler told RadarOnline.com. “Levi promptly paid what the court ordered…he does not agree with the amount and will seek reconsideration of the court’s order,” Butler, who calls himself “Team Levi,” told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “If he prevails, he will receive a credit…he will obviously have to work hard to generate the income necessary to support the court’s order, but he’d rather pay and fight than be in contempt of the court’s order.” Levi is already working to try and pay what he owes. A Playgirl rep told RadarOnline.com exclusively that he and Levi recently shot an episode of Kathy Griffin’s reality show My Life On The D List in Alaska. (Click the title of this post to read the rest of the RadarOnLine article.) I am very glad to hear this news. I believe it is fairly obvious to most people that the amount the court is asking for is not an amount that Levi will be able to sustain for long. The court order will have to be readjusted when he is unable to generate the same income in the future. Which means we may see Levi emptying his bank account in an attempt to keep up these inflated payments if they are not recalibrated quickly enough. But this being the Palins the idea is to get as much as they can as quickly as they can. Here is a copy of the original court order .
