Major Revelations Come To Light About Hunter Biden’s Child Support Lawsuit

On May 1st, lawyers representing Hunter Biden, the First Son, disclosed in court that the 53-year-old has paid over $750,000 in child support for his daughter Navy Joan, whom he shares with Lunden Roberts.

Hunter Biden alleges a ‘substantial material change’ in his finances

However, Biden now argues that the $20,000 monthly payment is far beyond his means due to a “substantial material change” in his financial situation.

Biden, confirmed as the biological father of 4-year-old Navy Joan after a paternity test, is trying to reduce the monthly payments amidst ongoing legal disputes with Roberts, a former stripper with whom he had a brief affair that resulted in the birth of their child.

During the proceedings, Attorney Abbe Lowell revealed the previously undisclosed figure as Judge Holly Meyer directed Biden to provide answers regarding his current financial status.

Biden is seeking reduced monthly payments for his child

Biden reopened the paternity case in September last year, seeking to decrease his child support payments for Navy Joan, whom he has not met.

In reference to the significant amount spent on child support, Lowell told the court, “Maybe it’s time the world knows what Mr. Biden is paying.”

Mr. Biden is not struggling financially – he is ‘living lavishly’

Although Biden claims he has experienced a change in his financial situation, Roberts’ representatives argue otherwise, stating, “Mr. Biden claims to be nothing more than a Yale-educated attorney/artist who is somewhat financially destitute and needs his child support adjusted. However, for an artist living on meager means, Mr. Biden is living lavishly.”

In court, Clinton Lancaster, Roberts’ lawyer, pointed out that Abbe Lowell, one of Biden’s representatives, “charges a rate of $855 per billable hour,” suggesting that Lowell’s involvement in the case is “indicative of Biden’s influence, prestige, and importance.”

‘Hiding assets’ is not a basis for reducing child support payments

Lancaster added, “The defendant has characterized his need for a reduction in child support on his reduced income. However, voluntarily reducing income, or hiding assets, is not a basis for a reduction in support.”

In 2019, Lunden Roberts filed a paternity suit against Biden in Arkansas after he denied being the father of Roberts’ daughter after their short-lived affair.

Following the confirmation of Hunter’s paternity through DNA tests, he began paying monthly child support, reportedly agreeing to a payment of around $2.5 million for the child.

After Biden requested the court to recalculate his monthly payments in the fall, Roberts retaliated by demanding his financial records and dismissing the idea that he is facing financial difficulties.

Hunter Biden is not fully disclosing his financial affairs

Roberts’ attorney also accused Biden of concealing the full extent of his assets, “The plaintiff has evidence that the defendant has not fully disclosed his income sources, residences, assets, and property. This evidence is bolstered by the fact that the defendant refuses to provide full discovery in this matter.”

Both Biden and Roberts are scheduled to give their depositions in the case in mid-June, and a trial to decide whether Biden’s child support payments will be reduced is slated to begin in July.

Neither Hunter Biden nor his father, President Joe Biden, have ever publicly acknowledged Navy Joan as part of the Biden family.
