The relationship between Palin and Johnston has been described as “strained,” and Palin’s lawyer points to this tense relationship as one of the reasons why she has not pursued collection of the amount owed. Palin’s lawyer has stated that they had hoped Mr. Johnston would pay the child support voluntarily.
There has been some talk that part of the reason Johnston has not been making child support payments is because he is unhappy with the amount of time he is allowed to spend with his son.
