'Finally stepping up': Hunter Biden settles child support case
[WashingtonTimes] Hunter Biden reached a temporary settlement in his child support dispute, just two days before he was scheduled for a mandatory court appearance to explain why he had not turned over his financial information.

Biden has been fighting the paternity suit, filed by the mother of his one-year-old child, Lunden Alexis Roberts, since last May. The agreement was approved Monday afternoon by Arkansas Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer, postponing Biden's in-person court appearance on Wednesday to determine whether he should be held in contempt of court for allegedly failing to submit his tax records for the past five years and other financial documents.

Biden agreed to pay monthly child support starting Feb. 1, according to a copy of the order filed in the Independence County Circuit Court in Arkansas. The amount of the support was redacted, but the court said the final figure will be determined after Biden turns over relevant financial records. He will also have to pay support retroactively dating back to Nov. 2018, according to the deal.

The agreement delayed a hearing on motions to hold Biden in contempt that were filed by Roberts’ attorneys last week. Her attorneys claim Biden has failed to provide information ordered by the court, including the names of any of his businesses, tax documents and all sources of income for the past five years. The contempt motions will be considered during the next scheduled pre-trial hearing on Mar. 13 and will be withdrawn if Biden turns over the relevant documents by Mar. 1, according to the deal.

Biden also agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to Roberts for her "attorneys fees and costs."

An attorney for Roberts welcomed the deal.

"He's doing the right thing by finally stepping up and paying what he should've been paying," Clint Lancaster said in a statement to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on Monday. "He's going to begin paying monthly child support. He's going to pay retroactive child support back to November of 2018. And he's going to pay attorney's fees and costs."

Brent Langdon, an attorney for Hunter Biden, told the Gazette that the agreement "would avoid the necessity of a hearing on Wednesday."

Biden had denied that he was the father of Roberts' 17-month-old child. A court-mandated paternity test determined in January that Biden was the father.

Biden said in a court filing that he has been unemployed with no income since last May. He also claimed he had significant debts.

He has been living in a $12,000-per-month Hollywood Hills rental home since last summer.

#1 The photos were snapped while Hunter Biden faces a court order to disclose his financial information in a paternity lawsuit filed by his former lover, Lunden Alexis Roberts of Arkansas. The Washington Examiner revealed that Biden and his wife are currently renting a $3.8 million designer home in Hollywood Hills for $12,000 a month.

Doubtful. Hunter Biden owns 10% of the (initial) $1.5 billion Chinese investment fund. It is now worth a bit over $2 billion. When the fund liquidates and the $1.5B returned, that leaves Hunter with $50+ million as his share. Think he will be upgrading to a Bugatti.
