Navy Joan’s mom reaches settlement with Hunter Biden over child support

Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts have reportedly come to a settlement over child support for their daughter Navy Joan. The four-year-old has never been acknowledged by the rest of the Biden family, most importantly her paternal grandparents. Hunter tried to deny he is her father but a DNA test proved otherwise.

Hunter has been paying $20,000 a month in child support. That’s a lot of money but considering the wealth of Hunter, it’s not out-of-line. However, Hunter is now singing the blues that he doesn’t have that kind of money anymore and wanted to lower the monthly payments. As they were preparing for the court case and Lunden’s bid to have Navy Joan legally change her last name to Biden, a settlement was made.

Lunden Roberts, 32, the mother of Hunter’s long-unacknowledged 4-year-old daughter, agreed to her $20,000 monthly child support payments being slashed after she showed up in person to his deposition in Little Rock last week.

Roberts’ lawyer, Clint Lancaster, told The Post late Thursday that final terms were still to be determined and declined to confirm that his client had agreed to a reduced monthly payment of $5,000.

“The case is sealed, and these are financial terms that should never be disclosed,” he 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.

Moving forward with a day in court was always tricky for Hunter. Lunden demanded his financial records when he started poor-mouthing his current circumstances and that meant his personal finances would be part of discovery. And, he really, really didn’t want that little girl to have the Biden family name. When his father entered the White House, Hunter was renting a Malibu estate for over $20,000 a month, according to press reports. He was living the life of a painter with his new, younger wife and their son, who is a year younger than Navy Joan. He and his family may be living in the White House now. The 53-year-old Hunter seems to have moved back with Joe and Jill while the legal drama was underway.

Naomi Biden, Hunter Biden’s oldest child, told Vogue Magazine that she and her then fiance were living in the White House last year.

Lunden, to her credit, didn’t let up on Hunter. She attended his deposition last week. She hasn’t missed any of it.

“It was significant that Lunden was there” at Hunter’s deposition last week, Lancaster added. “I believe that settlement is important to Hunter Biden [but] we have concerns that Hunter would use [the settlement] as a means to promote some agenda of his … There’s always more that goes on in settlement negotiations than people realize.”

Hunter told the court that he was asking for a reduction in child support due to his reduced circumstances, yet he flew into town in Batesville, Arkansas for the deposition on a private jet. He’s not exactly wondering how he’ll make ends meet at the end of the month.

The child will be fine.

“Lunden is a great mom and little Navy is going be fine,” said Lancaster. “The kid has lots of love on the maternal side of the family in Batesville. They are a very, very close family. They adore her and are always going to support her … But I think everybody is disappointed that there’s not more contact [with the Biden family].

“It’s not lost on anybody that Jill Biden wrote a children’s book and [dedicated it] to her grandchildren,” the lawyer went on. “She could have kept it at that, but she named every child except Navy.

“They hung stockings for the dog at Christmas but not for Navy. That is one of the saddest things.”

A child needs a father and I hope she has a father figure in her life. Hunter is too much of a man-child to rise to the occasion. Her grandparents are no-class hypocrites. It was easy to think of that hypocrisy when Jill posted Father’s Day tweets to celebrate what a great father he is and there is that little girl in Arkansas, ignored by the family. Both Joe and Jill continue to say they have six grandchildren. They have seven. She has a half-brother who is just one year younger than she is. The family resemblance between the two is strong.
