Hunter Biden is facing serious allegations of neglecting his daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, in a reopened paternity case from 2019. Lunden Roberts, Biden’s ex-partner, filed a new motion asserting that he has failed to meet his child support responsibilities.
Claims of Child Support Breach
According to the filed documents, Biden had previously agreed to provide a number of paintings—selected by his daughter—as part of his child support arrangement. Lunden Roberts argued that these artworks could hold financial value due to Biden’s notoriety and were intended to foster a bond between father and daughter.
Emotional Connection and Subsequent Silence
Roberts described a poignant moment when she brought artwork created by their daughter to a court deposition, which reportedly moved Biden to tears. Despite this initial connection, the motion claims Biden later “ghosted” his daughter after Roberts published a memoir about their relationship in 2024.
- Navy Joan reportedly expressed her desire for a relationship, stating she could not wait to “be with [her] dad.”
- Lunden’s recent motion highlights that Biden’s lack of communication has been detrimental to their daughter.
- Roberts conveyed that Navy felt disappointed at a wedding, wishing her father could walk her down the aisle.
Legal Demands for Compliance
The motion calls for the court to compel Biden to communicate with Navy Joan and even requests civil penalties for failing to comply. It underlines that his other four children enjoy a standard of living significantly higher than that of his daughter. Roberts contends that the court can ensure Navy receives equal support.
Historical Context and Further Developments
Biden initially denied paternity until mandated to take a paternity test in 2019. He was also previously convicted on a felony gun charge and was pardoned by his father, Joe Biden, before leaving office.
As this case unfolds, the legal and emotional implications deepen, spotlighting the complexities of familial relationships under public scrutiny.
