Lunden Roberts, the mother of Hunter Biden’s child, asked an Arkansas judge to have him arrested for allegedly failing to pay child support, Daily Mail reports. According to the outlet, Roberts “filed an emotional plea to the judge” to reopen her child support case against Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden's stripper baby mama asks for him to be ARRESTED over claims he is still failing to pay her child support https://t.co/axqVhZag99 — Daily Mail (@DailyMail) January 15, 2026 Daily Mail shared further: Roberts settled her claims against Hunter for alleged millions in unpaid child support in 2023, letting him off the hook with a reported $5,000 per month in support payments and an agreement that he would meet with their daughter, then age 4, and let her pick out some of his paintings. But in her filing on Tuesday, Roberts claimed Hunter has failed to follow through – and asked Judge Holly Meyer to ‘incarcerate him in the Independence County Detention Center as a civil penalty until he purges his contempt by complying with this court’s orders’. Roberts wrote in the filing that their daughter Navy Joan – given the alias ‘MC1’ in the documents – yearned for contact with her father, who allegedly ‘ghosted’ her. ‘MC1, who believes her father will go to heaven, once stated that she ‘could not wait to get to heaven’ so she could ‘be with [her] dad’ because her dad does not see or talk to her because her dad ‘lives far away and is really busy,’ Roberts wrote in the legal filing. Hunter initially denied paternity, but it was proven by a court-mandated DNA test, after which he began to engage with his youngest daughter, Roberts said. ‘The child and her dad started building the foundations of a missing, but exceedingly important, father-daughter relationship,’ her filing said. Hunter Biden is a father to five children with three women. He had his first three children with his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and his youngest son, Beau Biden Jr., with his current wife, Melissa Cohen. He detailed his encounter with Roberts in his 2021 memoir, saying he had no recollection of her and that it occurred while he was going through alcohol and drug addiction. “The two had a fling around December 2017, and the baby was born in August of 2018,” Daily Mail stated. PEOPLE reported last month: It was revealed in November 2019 that Hunter secretly fathered a child in August 2018 with an Arkansas woman named Lunden Roberts. Roberts sued Hunter to take a paternity test and pay child support, claiming they had a relationship and he was the father of her child — allegations he denied. A paternity test ultimately proved him to be the father. In 2023, it was revealed that Hunter and Roberts’ child was a daughter named Navy Joan Roberts. Soon after, Republicans began criticizing President Joe Biden for previously touting his “six grandchildren,” claiming he wasn’t acknowledging Navy. In a July 2023 statement provided exclusively to PEOPLE, President Biden pushed back at the criticism, saying, “Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward. This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter. Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.” A source familiar with the situation told PEOPLE that the recently resolved child support dispute between Hunter and Roberts has dictated how the relationship has played out so far. “You have to remember there were some fairly contentious legal proceedings between Navy’s parents happening until just a few weeks ago. As grandparents, the Bidens are following Hunter’s lead,” the source said, adding, “They are — and have been — giving Hunter and Lunden the space and time to figure things out.”
