Hunter Biden’s struggle with child support has taken a dramatic turn. His former partner, Lunden Roberts, filed a request with an Arkansas judge to imprison him for not adhering to their agreement. Roberts accused Biden of “ghosting” their daughter, Navy Joan, who is just seven years old. This situation has not only brought legal challenges but has also ignited emotional concerns regarding the child’s well-being.
Navy Joan is the daughter of Biden and Roberts, who previously worked as a stripper in Washington, D.C. For years, Joe Biden, Hunter’s father, reportedly refused to acknowledge this child as part of the family. In 2023, an agreement was reached in which Hunter’s monthly child support payment was reduced from $20,000 to $5,000. The arrangement included a stipulation that Hunter would spend time with his daughter.
However, according to Roberts, Hunter has failed to fulfill his promises. In her court filing, she claimed that he has not only fallen behind on his financial obligations but also has not made any effort to connect with Navy Joan. This neglect reportedly causes emotional distress for the young girl, prompting Roberts to advocate for jail time for Hunter until he meets his responsibilities.
Hunter Biden’s response might come off as chilling. In his recent legal papers, he stated that it does not matter whether he has “ghosted” Navy Joan, arguing that he never committed to playing a significant role in her life. His legal team contended that the contentious child support case should not be revisited since they have already reached a settlement. The response highlights his contention that the terms of the agreement do not warrant enforcement in the manner that Roberts proposed.
Roberts has further claimed in her filing that Hunter has not provided any of his artwork to Navy, which could have been a unique gesture given the notorious decline in the value of his works after his father’s presidency. Hunter countered that he never agreed to deliver any paintings by a specific deadline. His legal argument emphasizes that he will comply with the order as long as he assigns the required number of works to the child.
This ongoing saga raises serious questions about accountability and parental duty. As Hunter navigates personal struggles and legal challenges, the implications for Navy Joan remain significant. The child’s emotional needs seem at odds with Hunter’s stance, revealing a deeper layer of conflict in a situation where familial ties and responsibilities collide.
