Palin daughter is now broke

...if this was Obama's daughter.....


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2714084/Bristol-Palin-fighting-child-support-Levi-Johnston-earning-ZERO-income-two-years.html



Palin, 23, bought a five-bedroom Arizona home with all cash just four years ago, but now she can't make a dollar.

The daughter of former Alaska governor and one-time Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has filed paperwork to try and get child support payments dating back nearly two years from Levi Johnston, her former fiance and the father of her son Tripp, five. 

Bristol claims in the paperwork that her 2013 income was zero dollars, and so far in 2014 it's zero as well.

While she has flamed out professional, it appears Levi has been making a regular income. After posing for Playgirl in 2009 and writing a tell-all a year later, Levi has gotten married, had a baby girl and gotten a job.

Johnston made $62,400 in 2014 and $39,067.25 the year before, according to the paperwork. His wages are currently being garnished 40% as he works to pay his outstanding bills.

Apparently Levi is already having 40% of his income garnished for other debts. It seems that child support should be placed ahead of any other debt collection.

$1,750/mo seems high for an income ranging from $40 to $60/K. Is this typical?

What a fool.

Welcome to the real world. One your mother evidently never introduced you to...

"The documents that were filed with the court that purportedly show Bristol making $0 in 2013 and 2014 tax years were not prepared or filed by Bristol and (at least as to Bristol's income) are not accurate," a Palin family attorney said in an exclusive statement to E! News.

"The documents, known as 90.3 affidavits, were prepared exclusively by Mr. Johnston to support his opposition to Bristol's motion for past child support. It is common for a parent to put zeroes in the other parent's side of a 90.3 affidavit because each party has an independent obligation to provide only their information to the court.

Breeze Beretta Johnston, born Sept. 2012.

He married the mom when the kid was a month old.


What a family..wonder how Palin's other kids are doing?

I shudder at the idea of her making it to the White House...she would be selling off the furniture.
