In an unexpected change of events, President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden has been summoned to appear in court in Arkansas for a paternity issue.
The said case centers around a child support controversy between Hunter and his ex-girlfriend Lunden Roberts, and it is alleged that Hunter has been “playing games” and has withheld his financial information.
Roberts has even asked the judge to imprison Hunter until he obeys the court’s directives. Hunter was ordered to appear in court for the hearings by Judge Holly Meyer in response to the requests of Roberts’ attorneys, who asserted that Hunter has not submitted even a single piece of discovery in the continuing dispute.
Lunden Roberts’ attorney, Clinton Lancaster, filed a court document on Friday accusing Hunter Biden, the defendant in the child support case, of disobeying court rules. The lawyer accused him for intentionally and blatantly disobeying the court’s prior order, which was imposed to ensure his compliance with discovery.
“I want both of your clients at every hearing I conduct. I will no longer allow us to excuse clients because it is interfering with the progress of litigation, which is taking way too long to get over simple points.” Judge Meyer stated.
In Independence County, Arkansas, Roberts sued Hunter Biden for paternity in May 2019, alleging that he was the father of her child who was born in August 2018.
After initially denying the accusation, Hunter Biden consented to a DNA test in November 2019 that revealed he was indeed the child’s biological father. The dispute was resolved in March 2020, and the specifics were kept private.
Biden should be imprisoned until he complies with the court’s directives or is properly punished, according to Lancaster, who claimed that his acts had violated the court’s authority and dignity.
Furthermore, despite the fact that the complainant has hired an expert, due to Hunter’s refusal to respond, they are still unable to undertake discovery or properly prepare for trial.
In addition to requesting fines and attorney’s fees, Lancaster asked the court to declare the defendant in contempt, force discovery, change the scheduling order, and grant any other just and appropriate remedy.
The certificate of service attached to the document attests to the electronic delivery of a copy of the motion to the defendant.
