Hunter Biden settles child support dispute with baby mama as Biden family refuses to acknowledge 7th grandchild

Hunter Biden and the mother of his 4-year-old child have reportedly settled their child support dispute in Arkansas. Hunter and the Biden family had denied that the Navy Joan Roberts was his child until 2019, when a DNA test proved that he was the father. 

Lunden Roberts, 32, apparently agreed to have her $20,000 monthly child support payments cut after she showed up to Biden’s deposition in Little Rock last week, per the New York Post.

Clint Lancaster, Roberts’ lawyer, said that the final terms of the dispute were still ongoing. He did not confirm whether it was true that Roberts had agreed to a reduced monthly payment of $5,000. 

Lancaster was careful not to give too much information about the case, saying: “The case is sealed, and these are financial terms that should never be disclosed.” He noted that leaks about the case could derail the negotiations.

He went on to say that it was “significant that Lunden was there” at Biden’s deposition last week, adding: “I believe that settlement is important to Hunter Biden [but] we have concerns that Hunter would use [the settlement] as a means to promote some agenda of his … There’s always more that goes on in settlement negotiations than people realize.”

Biden reportedly applied to have the child support expenses reduced last year, citing reduced circumstances.

Lancaster said: “Lunden is a great mom and little Navy is going [to] be fine.”

“The kid has lots of love on the maternal side of the family in Batesville. They are a very, very close family. They adore her and are always going to support her … But I think everybody is disappointed that there’s not more contact [with the Biden family].”

“It’s not lost on anybody that Jill Biden wrote a children’s book and [dedicated it] to her grandchildren. She could have kept it at that, but she named every child except Navy. 

“They hung stockings for the dog at Christmas but not for Navy. That is one of the saddest things.”

The Post reported during legal discussions, Lancaster had asked the judge to put Biden in jail for contempt after it was discovered that he did not provide all the financial documents they required to verify his recent financial status.

Biden apparently met Roberts at a strip club in 2017, where she danced under the name “Dallas” while studying at college. However, in his memoir, Biden claimed that he had “no recollection of our encounter.”
