Former VP candidate Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are involved in a court battle for the custody of their son, baby Tripp. The teen mother doesn’t trust her irresponsible baby daddy, who is more worried about his public image and showing off for Playgirl (NSFW photos) than being a real father at the moment, and she is seeking sole custody.

Bristol tried to keep their custody battle a private matter by keeping the court proceedings closed for the best interest of the child. But Levi wanted to fight for custody in public and was granted his wish because there was no proof that the publicity could be harmful to their child. “I feel more comfortable in a public courtroom which will help everyone stay civil and be on their best behavior,” Levi said in a statement.

Levi allegedly wants shared custody of baby Tripp, while Bristol is asking for sole custody, child support and requested that his mother, Sherry Johnston, who was arrested on drug charges earlier this year, not to be allowed unsupervised visits. It is clear Levi is not yet fit to be a father, not when he is completely blinded by the Hollywood lights.
