Hunter Biden and the mother of his 4-year-old daughter have settled their child support dispute in Arkansas in private.
The lawyer for Lunden Roberts, 32, told the New York Post that the final terms in the agreement are still to be determined. Clint Lancaster would not confirm that his client had agreed to a reduced monthly payment of $5,000, but Roberts agreed to cut down her $20,000 monthly child support payments after she showed up in person to Hunter’s deposition in Little Rock last week.
BIDEN FACES PROSPECT OF UPS STRIKE WHILE CONSOLIDATING UNION SUPPORT
“The case is sealed, and these are financial terms that should never be disclosed,” Lancaster said, warning that leaks about details of the settlement would derail talks and end up with Hunter back in an Arkansas court on July 11.
Earlier this month, a judge ordered Hunter to appear in court in person in July to face possible contempt proceedings and even potential jail time for allegedly concealing his finances in the child support battle against the mother of one of his children.
The child, Navy Joan Roberts, was born in Arkansas in August 2018, conceived while Hunter was in a relationship with Hallie Biden, his deceased brother Beau Biden’s widow. The child has been living with her mother. President Joe Biden has repeatedly ignored the existence of his granddaughter in public statements while president.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell said in May that Hunter was paying $20,000 a month in child support, adding that he had paid $750,000 in child support thus far.
On Tuesday, the president’s son agreed to plead guilty to three federal charges, two misdemeanor tax crimes, and one felony gun possession crime. Yet U.S. Attorney David Weiss said the investigation is still ongoing, prompting confusion, especially from House Republicans.
