Hunter Biden says he can’t be thrown behind bars for not communicating with his 7-year-old daughter with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts because it was never a part of their child support agreement.
The former first son argued Tuesday in new papers that the contentious Arkansas child support case for daughter Navy Joan Roberts shouldn’t be reopened after he and his baby mama settled in 2023.
But Roberts earlier this month said Hunter should be thrown in jail for allegedly failing to uphold his end of the bargain, claiming he’s refusing to talk to Navy and not giving her his artwork. She is also seeking an increase in child support payments from Hunter.
Hunter, 55, says Roberts’ latest bid to reopen the case should be tossed out.
“Any failure to communicate with the Child is not punishable by contempt, as the Order does not order Defendant to communicate with the Child,” Biden’s lawyer, Brent Langdon, wrote in court papers Tuesday.
And Hunter never agreed to a date by which his paintings had to be turned over to Navy.
“Even if no paintings had been given to the Child to date, such would not violate the Order, because as long as thirty paintings are assigned to the Child by Defendant will have complied with the Order,” Langdon wrote.
Roberts’ lawyer didn’t immediately return a request for comment Thursday.
