(PM.) Hunter Biden requested that a judge deny a request made by the mother of one of his children, Lunden Alexis Roberts, to use the Biden last name for their 4-year-old daughter he’s never met, Navy.
According to the New York Post, Hunter Biden’s attorney claimed on January 6 that the court should deny the request until Navy was of the age to make the decision herself, and when “the disparagement of the Biden name is not at its height.”
In December of last year, 31-year-old Roberts filed a name change petition with an Arkansas court on December 27 after previously having filed a lawsuit asking for child support. Roberts’ lawyer, Clinton Lancaster, said that Navy would “benefit from carrying the Biden family name,” because it is “now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful.”
Roberts worked as a stripper when the two met and conceived their daughter Navy. Hunter was in a relationship with his sister-in-law, the wife of his late brother Beau, at the time. Having never met the child, he initially denied paternity until a DNA test proved he was the father in 2019. Biden settled with his baby’s mother for $2.5 million in 2020 and agreed to pay child support
