Hunter Biden is in Arkansas court this morning to meet with his baby mama Lunden Roberts to discuss how much child support he should pay for the adorable four-year-old daughter he never met.
Hunter pulled into the court staff entrance in a five-car motorcade with a police escort. He got out of a silver SUV and went inside at 8:45 a.m., stopping at the entrance to shake hands with someone.
The First Son, dressed in a smart navy blue suit, white shirt and black tie, declined to comment.
The long-running paternity case between the president’s son and Lunden Roberts appeared to be settled in 2019 when a DNA test showed that Hunter had fathered petty marine Joan Roberts and he agreed to a reported $2.5 million settlement.
But the recovering drug addict abruptly reopened the case in September by claiming he had undergone “a substantial material change” in his income and was unable to pay the payments.

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,” a move Hunter dismissed as “political warfare”. ‘.
Roberts also served the First Son with an extensive discovery request that covered everything 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 beginner abstract paintings.
After Hunter missed multiple deadlines to turn over his documents, Judge Holly Meyer ordered him to appear in person at the Independence County Circuit Court for today’s contempt hearing.

The hearing takes place under tight security, with every corner of the courthouse flanked by sheriff’s deputies and police bomb sniffer dogs looking for threats.
Roberts lit up the touch paper at today’s hearing by accusing the Biden scion of hiding assets and posing as a “destitute” performer in her latest lawsuit.
She wants to know how Hunter can advocate poverty while employing a stable of super lawyers who charge up to $855 an hour for his various lawsuits and congressional investigations.
The feisty single mom, who studied crime scene investigation at George Washington University, has even called for Hunter to be thrown in the county jail — and left there until he coughs up his records.
Her lawyer Clinton Lancaster says cutting childcare payments would be “improper and unjust” and wants Hunter – who spent last week at Joe Kiani’s $50 California vineyard – to pay more if caught cheating. hiding his true wealth.
To make matters worse, Roberts has brought in Garrett Ziegler — a former Trump administration aide and longtime Hunter nemesis who produced a 644-page analysis of the contents of his infamous abandoned laptop — as an expert witness.

In his own papers, Hunter has argued against Navy Joan becoming a Biden, insisting that he wants a “peaceful existence” for her, free from the political scrutiny associated with his family dynasty.
The angelic, blonde-haired girl was born in August 2018, but remained a secret until Roberts sued Hunter for child support in her native Arkansas.
She is the fourth of Hunter’s five children, but neither he nor his parents Joe and Jill Biden have ever met the child or publicly acknowledged her existence.
Hunter claimed during the original 10-month paternity lawsuit that he was “unemployed and had no monthly income,” despite living in a $12,000-a-month Hollywood rental and driving a Porsche.
But when a judge ordered him to provide financial records, he repeatedly failed to do so and instead settled out of court, with the two sides announcing a “global, final settlement of all matters.”
It was initially reported that Hunter met Roberts while she was working as a stripper at a DC club that Hunter frequented.
But texts retrieved from his abandoned laptop proved she was, in fact, on the payroll at Rosemont Seneca, Hunter’s Washington, D.C. investment firm.

She and Hunter conceived Navy Joan around December 2017 while he was still in a relationship with his brother Beau’s widow, Hallie.
Hunter claimed in his 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things, that in the aftermath of his divorce from Kathleen Buhle in 2017, he had such a “rampage” that he couldn’t remember the names of the women he slept with.
“That’s why I later sued the Arkansas woman who had a baby in 2018 claiming it was mine — I couldn’t remember our meeting. I had so little connection with anyone,” he wrote.
Hunter never saw Navy Joan and couldn’t get her out of a photo rig, according to court documents.
Navy Joan has never met her grandpa Joe, 80, despite the president creeping up on his six other grandchildren and regularly taking them to events and speeches.
And she gets none of the perks, nor the 24-hour Secret Service protection, that the rest of the Biden brood enjoy.
In February 2022, Roberts gave testimony to a Delaware grand jury investigating Hunter for alleged tax crimes, joining a growing list of former business partners and associates implicated in the Justice Department’s classified investigation.
Federal prosecutors were particularly interested in what she found out about Hunter’s finances, her attorney said at the time.
