Hunter Biden recently informed a court that his lack of involvement in his seven-year-old daughter’s life is irrelevant, as he never committed to participating in her upbringing. This daughter was born from his past relationship with Lunden Roberts, a former exotic dancer.

In a new legal document filed in Arkansas, the 55-year-old ex-First Son is attempting to prevent the re-evaluation of the child support terms concerning his daughter, Navy Joan Roberts.

Earlier this month, Navy’s mother, Lunden Roberts, aged 34, filed a legal complaint stating that Hunter has not honored their 2023 settlement. This agreement included a provision for Navy to receive proceeds from Hunter’s artwork.

The agreement, established three years ago, also prohibited Navy from adopting Hunter’s notable surname. Lunden alleges that Hunter has not communicated with his daughter nor delivered any of his art pieces.

In response to Lunden’s recent bid to increase child support payments, Hunter’s court submission made his stance on the matter abundantly clear.

‘Any failure to communicate with the Child is not punishable by contempt, as the Order does not order Defendant to communicate with the Child,’ Biden’s lawyer, Brent Langdon, wrote in the documents. 

Hunter also argued that his failure to hand over his artwork – which once sold for upwards of $500,000 before plummeting in value when his father left the White House – does not violate the order, because he never agreed a date by which he had to give them to his daughter. 

‘Even if no paintings had been given to the Child to date, such would not violate the Order, because as long as thirty paintings are assigned to the Child by Defendant will have complied with the Order,’ the response filing said. 

Hunter Biden told a court it doesn’t matter that he ‘ghosted’ his seven-year-old daughter with his ex-stripper baby mama because he never agreed to be a part of her life in a callous new filing

Lunden Roberts claimed Hunter has failed to follow through on his child support payments for their child Navy Joan Roberts, 7, who she says has been ‘ghosted’ by her father 

The child support case in 2023 centered around Roberts’ attempts to have Navy adopt the Biden family name, to which Hunter was opposed. 

The former exotic dancer was also demanding monthly child support payments of $20,000, but eventually lowered her demands to $5,000 to settle the case, per the New York Post. 

His agreement to hand over dozens of paintings to his young daughter was made at a time that the artworks raked in huge six-figure sums, and he would either give the artworks or the proceeds from their sales to his daughter. 

The artworks now sell for a fraction of what they were once worth, and Roberts slammed the former president’s son in her filing on January 16, branding him ‘classless’ for ‘ghosting’ their daughter. 

Roberts said that their daughter has begun to realize she does not live the privileged life that her half-siblings enjoy. 

‘It is axiomatic that no one can force Mr. Biden into being a good dad for MC1, but this court can make it so that MC1 has, at least, the same level of support as MC1’s younger half-brother,’ she wrote, referring to her daughter as MC1, stood for minor child 1. 

In Roberts’ filing earlier this month, she also sensationally asked an Arkansas judge to have Hunter arrested for failing to fulfil the child support agreement. 

Lunden Roberts, 34, filed an emotional plea to the judge earlier this month, reopening her child support case against the felonious former First Son

Roberts claimed Hunter has failed to follow through with their agreement – and asked Judge Holly Meyer to ‘incarcerate him in the Independence County Detention Center as a civil penalty until he purges his contempt by complying with this court’s orders’.

Roberts wrote in the filing that their daughter Navy Joan yearned for contact with her father, who allegedly ‘ghosted’ her.

‘MC1, who believes her father will go to heaven, once stated that she ‘could not wait to get to heaven’ so she could ‘be with [her] dad’ because her dad does not see or talk to her because her dad ‘lives far away and is really busy,’ Roberts wrote in the legal filing.

Hunter initially denied paternity, but it was proven by a court-mandated DNA test, after which he began to engage with his youngest daughter, Roberts said.

‘The child and her dad started building the foundations of a missing, but exceedingly important, father-daughter relationship,’ her filing said.

‘The defendant and his daughter talked several times during a series of scheduled calls and were able to bond.’

But she wrote that in 2024, ‘suddenly and without warning or explanation, Mr. Biden ghosted sweet, little MC1—who was then only five-years-old.’

Roberts claimed that Navy Joan, 6, had ‘recently experienced emotional trauma at a family member’s wedding when she realized that her dad would not walk her down the aisle or dance with her at her own wedding reception.’

Roberts claimed that Hunter had sent some paintings to his daughter, but that they were not ones picked out by the child – and that what was important to her was the contact with the little girl that the agreement would entail.

‘MC1 received some paintings, but they were the ones chosen by Mr. Biden and not MC1,’ Roberts wrote in the filing.

‘The defendant’s actions are a willful and contemptuous violation of this court’s prior orders.’

‘This court should allow the child to select her paintings—which will be her only real connection to her father and his side of the family to date,’ the filing continues.

‘To this day, MC1 has not heard again from her father, and this is baffling to the plaintiff and her family because Mr. Biden said that he had ‘lived in guilt and remorse every second of every day that [he] hasn’t been in [MC1’s] life.’

‘It is now clear that Mr. Biden’s statement was only meant for the purpose it accomplished—successfully inducing Ms. Roberts to agree to take less money for her daughter’s support,’ it adds.

Roberts also asked the judge to reassess Hunter’s monthly child support payments, pointing to an apparent lavish lifestyle by the Biden family.

‘All of MC1’s siblings live at a means above that of the average American. For Thanksgiving of 2025, the Biden family (minus MC1, who is not allowed to participate in family activities) gathered at an exclusive Nantucket locale,’ Roberts wrote.

‘Additionally, all of Mr. Biden’s children except MC1 were seen at renowned Nantucket restaurants and other social scenes.’

‘No one can force Mr. Biden into being a good dad for MC1, but this court can make it so that MC1 has, at least, the same level of support as MC1’s younger half-brother,’ Roberts added.

Hunter claimed in his 2021 memoir that he had ‘no recollection’ of Roberts, after she sued him for paternity and child support.

But the Daily Mail revealed records from his abandoned laptop showing he employed her at his firm, after reportedly meeting her at a Washington DC strip club.

The two had a fling around December 2017, and the baby was born in August of 2018.

But Hunter’s text messages from the laptop show he asked his assistant to make sure she had been kicked off his company’s health insurance plan just three months after the birth.

Even after a DNA test proved he was the father, the former president’s son claimed he did not have enough money to pay child support – despite living in a $12,000-per-month home in Hollywood and driving a Porsche at the time.

Roberts’ filing was first reported by conservative nonprofit Marco Polo on social media site X.

The organization published an extensive report about Hunter’s abandoned laptop and the evidence of alleged criminality therein.

The Daily Mail has contacted Biden and Roberts’ attorneys for comment.
