Overview
- Lunden Roberts asked the Arkansas court on Jan. 13 to reopen the case, alleging Hunter Biden cut off contact in 2024, failed to provide promised artwork, and should face contempt and higher support.
- Biden’s legal team responded this week, asserting that any lack of communication cannot be punished because the court order never required him to speak with the child.
- The defense says assigning 30 paintings or their proceeds fulfills the 2023 settlement and that no deadline was set for delivery.
- Roberts’ filings cite the child’s emotional harm and highlight disparities with Biden’s other children, including exclusion from the family’s 2025 Nantucket holiday events, as grounds for increased support.
- No ruling has been issued as Biden moves to dismiss the contempt claim and the support modification in the Independence County family court.
