(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) An Arkansas state court recently settled the years-long dispute over child support between Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts, the mother of their 4-year-old child.
The court battle started in 2019 as Roberts filed a lawsuit against the younger Biden, seeking child support and healthcare for her child, who she swore was Biden’s. A paternity test conducted by the court proved that the child was indeed the younger Biden’s, and the court ordered him to make monthly payments of $20,000 in child support in 2020.
Biden’s attorneys said he had paid $750,000 in child support so far and the crackhead son of the president sought to lower the monthly payments, arguing that he could not financially support the original support order.
On the contrary, Roberts and her attorneys argued that the 4-year-old child is entitled to the same benefits her half-siblings receive.
The court’s Thursday filing did not specify what these new payments would be as it only notes that Hunter will “assign to the child” some of his paintings, “which shall vary in size with a minimum size of 24×24.” The filing censored the number of paintings and the new amount Hunter will pay for child support moving forward.
The parting shot from Hunter included dropping support payments to $5,000 a month and a ban on the child ever using the Biden name.
The child who can’t use the Biden name can “select the painting which shall either be sent to the child” or any gallery of Roberts’s choice” and “net proceeds of any sales of paintings shall be wired to an account designated by Lunden Roberts,” the filing stated.
A report by Politico noted that Hunter Biden took up painting as he fought his addiction to drugs and alcohol. The NYC gallery exhibiting his work estimated his paintings to be worth about $75,000 to $500,000 apiece. However, this estimation stirred controversy as many believed it only increased the opportunity of bribing one’s way into the Biden family.
