Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts sign child support agreement, details kept confidential

No wonder Hunter Biden was living large with The Big Guy for the world to see after getting his sweet, sweet deal that will keep him out of prison. He and the mother of his four-year-old daughter reached an official settlement on child support payments and the use of the Biden name.

Frankly, it doesn’t sound like Lunden Roberts and little Navy Joan got a great deal but maybe it’s in the confidential details of the agreement. So far, what is being reported is that on Monday, a signed agreement was submitted to Independence County Circuit Court in Arkansas for Circuit Judge Holly Meyer to approve. The document will become public within the next 24 hours but will be heavily redacted to keep the full financial arrangements for Navy Joan’s upbringing private.

Maybe Hunter was celebrating the end of a long legal battle with Lunden Roberts when he attended a state dinner at the White House, rubbing elbows with world leaders and other important people, shortly after his avoidance of jail time for tax evasion and lying on a federal gun form was announced. He made a deal there, too. Though some in the media are beginning to wake up and show a little bit of curiosity about the sketchy dealings of Biden, Inc. and Hunter Biden’s grifting off of the family name, there he was, dressed up in a tux and smiling for photos. Who knows what kind of deals were made that night. Then, it was time to spend the weekend at Camp David with the Big Guy while Jill was out fundraising for the re-election campaign. She left town as soon as the story began getting out about Hunter’s sweet deal out of Delaware. Who can blame her? She knows those millions of dollars don’t just magically show up in bank accounts, especially the bank accounts of her husband, a career politician who was in the Senate for 40 years before becoming the vice president.

But, poor Hunter just isn’t making the kind of money he once did when the grift was really underway. So, he went to court in Arkansas, where Lunden and Navy Joan live, to request a reduction in child support. He said he could no longer afford the $20,000 monthly child support payments. Lunden demanded he turn over all of his financial records during discovery, a move that forced Hunter to come clean on his financial situation. After all, at the time his father was elected president, Hunter, his latest wife, and their three-year-old son were living in an estate in Malibu, California. He was reported to be paying a little more than $20,000 per month for rent on that place. Now it looks like he and his family are living in the White House with Joe and Jill.

Hunter, who is rarely held accountable for anything ( he did get kicked out of the Navy Reserve for testing positive for cocaine), was being held accountable by the judge in Arkansas. She upheld Lunden’s request that Hunter turn over his financial records and the judge required him to show up in court, too. That must have been a shock. And, Lunden showed up at the federal courthouse when Hunter was deposed for their upcoming court date recently. Instead of going through with his day in court, Hunter decided to keep it as private as possible and they settle out of court before their day in court arrived.

Keep in mind that Hunter and the Biden family have never acknowledged Navy Joan. Grandpa Joe continues to say he has six grandchildren when the total number is seven. Imagine how hurtful it will be when she is older and Navy Joan sees pictures of the Biden White House decorated for Christmas with stocking hung on the mantel for all the Biden family and their pets but no stocking with Navy Joan’s name on it.

It is being reported that the child support was reduced to less than $5,000 per month. And, Navy Joan will not take the Biden surname. Sounds like another sweet deal for Hunter. Lunden said she wanted Navy Joan to have the Biden family name for the opportunities it might present to her when she is older. Lunden knows the Biden family grift, apparently. Hunter didn’t agree to that. He doesn’t want his piece of the pie to potentially shrink with the addition of another Biden using the family name.

The confidential settlement means Hunter, 53, will avoid the scrutiny of a public paternity trial where details of his murky finances were likely to feature heavily.

Details emerged soon after it was reported that President Joe Biden’s son will plead guilty to federal tax offenses as part of a deal to avoid a full prosecution on a separate gun charge.

Roberts sprang a surprise on her former lover earlier this month. She turned up in person to hear him being deposed for the first time in their paternity battle.

Things were resolved soon after, however.

Roberts is understood to have dropped her demand that daughter Navy change her surname to Biden, a request that had been rejected by Hunter’s legal team.
