Congressional Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer seeks custody of child he had with Bristol Palin
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – A Medal of Honor winner is seeking joint custody of the child he had out of wedlock with Bristol Palin, a former reality television personality and daughter of 2008 GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Dakota Meyer filed a lawsuit against Bristol Palin in Alaska Superior Court on Monday seeking joint custody of their child, Sailor Grace Palin. The child was born Dec. 23.
Meyer, a former marine living in Greensburg, Kentucky, was engaged to Palin, and the wedding was abruptly called off a week before it was to have been held last May.
Meyer is seeking joint custody and shared physical custody of the child. His lawyer, Kimberlee Colbo of Anchorage, says he wants to be a part of his daughter’s life.
Attempts to reach a spokesman for Palin, who was twice on “Dancing with the Stars” and had her own reality show on cable, weren’t immediately successful.
