First Son Hunter Biden’s financial records will be off limits to the public in an upcoming paternity suit trial he is involved in.
Hunter Biden: The Latest
Biden filed a motion with an Arkansas court in September. He asked the court to modify the undisclosed record, among which he was required to pay in child support to former stripper Lunden Roberts for their daughter Navy Joan Roberts.
Hunter Biden claimed poverty and a “substantial material change in (his) financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income” in his September filing. Roberts countered Biden’s filing by objecting to his request to reduce the amount of child support he had been ordered to pay in October.
Roberts’ attorney Clint Lancaster questioned the timing of Biden’s filing and vowed to depose Biden and have a forensic accountant scour his finances.
That was even though he publicly had been selling his paintings at a New York art gallery for as much as a quarter million dollars. Both Biden and his art dealer Georges Berges have refused to share information about the buyers, according to The New York Post.
Arkansas Circuit Judge Holly Meyer ruled last month that “all information about or related to child support including affidavits of financial means is confidential information or confidential financial information and shall be sealed.”
Her ruling continued:
“There is good cause for the protection of private information of the parties in this cause,” she wrote, noting that “the court has no concern for the political nature or aspects surrounding this case.”
Meyer presided over the 2020 paternity trial during which she ordered Biden to pay the undisclosed amount to Roberts. She ordered Biden to pay for the child’s health insurance in March 2020.
Biden’s legal team called a separate motion to change Navy Joan Roberts’ last name to Biden “political warfare” against his family. His attorney Brent Langdon argued that the girl should decide for herself whether to adopt the Biden name when she is old enough to decide for herself.
“The Plaintiff equivocates in her arguments depending on the motions or response filed on the same day by praising the Defendant and the Biden name to support the requested name change, and then disparaging Defendant and his family in others,” Langdon wrote in a four-page filing rebutting Roberts’ attorney. “In other filings on the same day as this motion, the Plaintiff takes the opportunity … to spew about the Defendant including his ‘ripe, and justified, public scrutiny resulting from his financial transactions’; the always good for public ridicule “Burisma’; and that he is the ‘subject of federal investigations’. And, of course, the Plaintiff takes the opportunity to take jabs at the sitting President of the United States. …
Langdon’s filing continued:
“The child should have the opportunity for input at a time when the disparagement of the Biden name is not at its height. The notoriety would no doubt rob this child of peaceful existence.”
Hunter Biden fought the paternity suit because he claimed he had no memory of the sexual encounter with Roberts. Meyer ordered a bench trial for July 24-25.
