Hunter Biden and mother Lunden Roberts settle child support dispute

Hunter Biden and his baby mama have privately settled their child support dispute in Arkansas, according to a source close to the first child.

Lunden Roberts, 32, the mother of Hunter’s 4-year-old daughter, who is unknown, agreed to have her $20,000 monthly child support payments cut after she appeared in person at his deposition in Little Rock last week.

Roberts’ attorney, Clint Lancaster, told The Post late Thursday that final terms were still to be determined and declined to confirm that his client had agreed to a reduced $5,000 monthly payment.

“The case is sealed and these are financial terms that should never be disclosed,” he said, warning that leaks about the details of the deal would derail the talks and end Hunter. back in an Arkansas court on July 11.

“It was significant that Lunden was there” at Hunter’s deposition last week, Lancaster added. “I think the deal is important to Hunter Biden [but] we have concerns that Hunter would use [the settlement] as a means of furthering some agenda of theirs… There is always more to deal negotiations than people realize.”

Hunter, 53, initially denied paternity of Marina Joan Roberts, but a DNA test in 2019 proved he was the child’s father.

She petitioned a court in Batesville, Ark., last year to reduce her child support payments, citing extenuating circumstances, but turned heads by flying into town on a family member’s private jet. friend

“Lunden is a great mom and little Marina is going to be fine,” Lancaster said. “The child has a lot of love from the maternal side of the family in Batesville. They are a very, very close family. They adore her and will always support her… But I think everyone is disappointed that there is no more contact [with the Biden family].

“It’s not lost on anyone that Jill Biden wrote a children’s book and [dedicated it] to his grandchildren,” the lawyer continued. “He could have kept it, but he named all the children except Navy.

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

During contentious legal arguments, Lancaster asked the judge in the case to hold the president’s son in contempt after he failed to produce all the financial documents they demanded to prove his newfound poverty.

Roberts met Hunter in 2017 at the Mpire strip club in Washington, DC, where she danced under the stage name “Dallas” while in college. It was placed on the payroll of the Biden scion’s company for nine months during an affair carried on while Hunter was also in a relationship with his widowed sister-in-law, Hallie.

In his memoir, “Beautiful Things,” Hunter claimed that he “didn’t remember our meeting.”

President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden they have never acknowledged their seventh grandchild.

News of the settlement came the same day federal prosecutors in Delaware said Hunter had agreed to it plead guilty to federal taxes as part of a deal with the Justice Department that will likely keep him out of jail.

As part of the deal, Biden’s son will plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of failing to pay federal income taxes for 2017 and 2018, as well as enter a felony pretrial diversion of possession of weapons.

The charges against Hunter, which were condemned by Republicans as a slap on the wrist, were the result of a five-year investigation that focused largely on money he received from overseas business interests .
