Hunter Biden’s baby mama settled their acrimonious alimony case after the first son promised to meet their daughter out of wedlock and play a role in her life, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Years of legal wrangling came to an abrupt end this week when 32-year-old Lunden Roberts agreed to cut Hunter’s monthly payments of $20,000 and withdrew her petition to have Navy Joan’s last name changed to Biden.
Sources say the stunning turnaround comes after Hunter told Roberts in private conversations that he wanted to end hostilities and “build a relationship” with the adorable four-year-old.
The pact also paves the way for Navy Joan to eventually meet the rest of the Biden brood — including President Joe and First Lady Jill — for the first time.
While the financial details of the settlement remain secret, court documents indicate that the aspiring artist hunter, 53, will have his daughter choose one of his paintings each month as a gift.

Hunter and Lunden Roberts agreed that Navy should allow Joan to choose one of his paintings each month as a gift in an effort to bond with her father.
“The idea is that Navy Joan chooses the art herself, she can hang it on her bedroom wall and feel like she got something special from her dad,” a source said.
Hunter’s abstract creations reportedly sold for as much as $500,000, but the gesture has nothing to do with their value, according to our insider.
“The idea is that Navy Joan chooses the art herself, she can hang it on her bedroom wall and feel that she has something special from her father. It will mean the world to her,” the source told DaiyMail.com.
“When the time is right, Hunter can personally present his work to Navy Joan, he can teach her about art and painting. It’s a fun way for father and daughter to bond.
As for the name, Navy Joan knows her last name is Roberts, but she also knows who her father is. When the relationship is established, she can change her name whenever she wants.’

The shocking settlement eases the legal burden on Hunter, who last week managed to avoid jail time with a plea deal that ended a years-long federal investigation into his tax affairs and gun possession.
The breakthrough came when Arkansas native Roberts took the unusual step of being present at Hunter’s June 16 deposition in Little Rock, as DailyMail.com previously revealed.
Prior to this, relations between the couple had become so toxic that the single mother petitioned an Independence County judge to have the Biden scion locked up for failing to disclose his financials.
He gave his statement when, about an hour later, he was allowed to speak to Lunden privately. That was the first time they had spoken since she was pregnant,” the source explains.
It was emotional, but over the next hour and a half they resolved many of their differences before calling the lawyers back to draft an agreement.
Hunter said he wanted to build a relationship with his daughter and Lunden would never deny Navy Joan the chance to get to know her father.
“This lawsuit was never about money for Lunden. She never wanted to punish Hunter or fight him.
“What matters most is what’s best for Navy Joan and both parents agree. She’s their only focus.’

To date, Hunter Navy has never met Joan and neither has his father Joe, 80, despite publicly lavish praise and attention for his other grandchildren.
The blonde girl was conceived around December 2017 while Hunter was still in a relationship with his brother Beau’s widow, Hallie.
It was initially reported that the pair met while Roberts was working as a pole dancer at Hunter’s favorite DC strip club.
But texts retrieved from his abandoned laptop proved she was, in fact, on the payroll at his investment company, Rosemont Seneca.
As DailyMail.com revealed, Hunter initially vowed to support Roberts “emotionally, physically and financially.”
Instead, he cruelly “ghosted” her, ignoring her texts and calls, and refusing to acknowledge that Navy Joan was his until Roberts filed a lawsuit for child support in 2019 and a court-ordered DNA test found her. proven claims.
In the ensuing lawsuit, Hunter claimed he was “unemployed and had no monthly income,” despite living in a $12,000-a-month Hollywood rental and driving a Porsche.
But when ordered to submit his financials, he repeatedly failed to do so before agreeing to a 2019 settlement that has seen him pay Roberts more than $750,000 to date.
Despite already facing congressional and federal investigations into his financial affairs, Hunter unexpectedly reopened the case last September, claiming he had undergone “a substantial material change” in his income.
Roberts refused to budge and upped the ante by petitioning the court to officially rename her daughter Navy Joan Biden to “profit from carrying the Biden family name.”
Her lawyers once again demanded that Hunter hand over all the details of his finances, from his shady business dealings in Ukraine and China to the names of the mysterious art lovers who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his budding paintings.
However, this week’s deal ends proceedings without the need for a trial in July.
Lawyers for Roberts and Hunter, whose expensive stable of lawyers includes Abbe Lowell — who reportedly charges up to $855 an hour — declined to comment.
