Tabloids Accuse Levi Johnston of Being Deadbeat Dad

Bristol Palin -- the daughter of former V.P. candidate Sarah Palin -- has filed court papers asking the father of her child, Levi Johnston, to pay child support after making media rounds and posing nude for Playgirl.

Bristol claims she has received "limited and sporadic financial assistance" in the 13 months since their son was born.

While some tabloid headlines are proclaiming Levi is a "deadbeat dad," Bristol states that he has given over $4,000 to her so far. She's now asking for $1,750 a month in child support that is retroactive, seeking an additional $18,350 in back support.
