http://reverbpress.com/news/bristol-palin-loses-second-child-custody-case/Near the end of February, one of Bristol Palins baby daddies, Dakota Meyer, filed a motion requesting the courts grant him joint legal custody of Sailor Grace Palin and Meyers daughter. As a Medal of Honor recipient, you would think that Meyer would face no opposition from Bristol Palin on seeing his own daughter. Youd be wrong:...
The former couple was engaged at one point, and Bristol used this as an excuse to explain away the fact that she got pregnant again out of wedlock again while continuously promoting abstinence-only sex education again. Sadly, the end of the engagement seems to have been Palins cue to make Dakotas life difficult.
As if living in Kentucky while his child lived in Alaska wasnt hard enough, Meyer also was up against Bristol Palin requesting that she be present during visits and that Meyer not be allowed to take his daughter overnight. This is even considering the fact that hed have to fly to Alaska to spend time with her. Extra TV reported,

(15,480 posts)[Judge] Walker ruled that the former couple would share interim joint legal and physical custody of their daughter Sailor Grace
[Walker said] The mother objects to overnight visitation because the child is currently breastfeeding nightly
Mother is to provide father with an adequate supply of milk or formula for overnight visitation.'
Texts revealed that Palin only nurses her child at night not throughout the day. So her bogus breastfeeding excuse was struck down by the judge with a quick and simple So give him some breast milk. Meyer will now be able to fly to Alaska twice a month and keep his daughter yes, even overnight for four consecutive days on each trip.
Of course, this must all seem like a bad case of deja vu for Bristol Palin. Just recently, a similar situation unfolded between her and Levi Johnston, her high school sweetheart and baby daddy #1. The poor young man, who appeared forced into photo ops with the Palins during Sarahs Vice-Presidential bid, won a big victory near the end of February:
Sarah Palins daughter lost her seven-year custody battle with her ex-fiancé, Levi Johnston. Johnston announced the news in a Facebook post on Wednesday, saying the $100,000 in legal fees was worth it to have joint custody of his 7-year-old son, Tripp, with Bristol Palin. Im so happy to have my son in my life, and to put all this back in (sic) forth in the courts behind me.'

(90,189 posts)....in California (my state) with the judge awarding joint legal and physical custody to mom and dad. Personally I think a 3 month old is much too young to be separated from its mother for days at a time, but as Dickens once said, "The law is an ass." A 7 year old, OTT, is quite old enough; unless there is some issue of abuse we don't know about, Bristol shouldn't be withholding the kid from its father.
What I'm saying is, the judge telling her she has to comply with joint custody doesn't mean she's a bad mother, just that the laws have changed in the past several decades.
