An Arkansas judge ordered Hunter Biden to reveal financial information on his art sales and investment income as part of a child support case while lawyers for President Joe Biden’s son claimed he already paid $750,000 to the mother of his estranged daughter.
The child between Hunter Biden and Lunden Alexis Roberts was born in Arkansas in August 2018. The now-4-year-old child, Navy Joan Roberts, was conceived while he was in a relationship with Hallie Biden, his brother Beau Biden’s widow. Although Hunter Biden denied the child was his, a DNA test proved with near scientific certainty that it was.
HUNTER BIDEN FINANCES CENTER STAGE IN ARKANSAS PATERNITY CASE
Judge Holly Lodge Meyer said Monday that Roberts and Hunter Biden would need to sit for depositions in June, according to CNN, and the son of the president would also need to answer detailed questions about his income.
The New York Post said Monday that Hunter Biden would need to answer written inquiries about the current state of his finances, including all of his investments, his art sales, and other relevant financial transactions.
Although Hunter Biden appeared in the Arkansas courtroom on Monday at the judge’s orders, he did not speak.
“Mr. Biden is paying the plaintiff $20,000 a month,” Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell told the court on Monday, according to the Daily Mail, with the attorney adding that Hunter Biden has already paid $750,000 in child support thus far.

Clinton Lancaster, a lawyer for the mother, Lunden Alexis Roberts, argued to the court in December that “the defendant is attempting to stifle discovery into his financial affairs while simultaneously reducing his child support obligation on the claim that he now earns less income.”
Hunter Biden has asked to lower his child support payments, and a trial to figure out whether what he owes can be adjusted is scheduled to begin in July.
