According to a court filing released Thursday, President Joe Biden’s son Hunter has settled in his child support case in the state of Arkansas over reducing his child support payments. Although the settlement, announced in Arkansas state court, signals the end of the lawsuit with Lunden Roberts, mother of his 4-year-old child, the daughter will be receiving bizarre compensation: Hunter’s artwork.
“It is unclear from the filing what the new payments will be” Politico reports, but President Joe Biden’s son will “assign to the child” some of his paintings, “which shall vary in size with a minimum size of 24×24.”
The number of paintings along with the new amount for the child support payments were both redacted from the filing. Additionally, “the child shall select the painting which shall either be sent to the child” or to a gallery designated by Roberts, the filing says.
As part of the settlement with Roberts, a former exotic dancer, Hunter’s “support” of the child is part of the deal which refuses the child to take his famous last name of Biden. “The net proceeds of any sales of paintings shall be wired to an account designated by Lunden Roberts.”
The New York City gallery exhibiting Hunter Biden’s work in 2021 estimated his paintings to be worth between $75,000 and $500,000 apiece — numbers that previously raised concerns about the possibility that someone would buy the art as a way to curry favor with the Biden family. The younger Biden took up painting while recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
