Hunter Biden asks court to block daughter using last name

Hunter Biden has asked a court to stop his estranged daughter from using his last name.

Lunden Roberts — former girlfriend and mother of Hunter’s beloved child — filed a name change motion in an Arkansas court on Dec. 27 to go by the surname Biden” because he “is now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially astute and political to be powerful”.

Roberts believes her daughter, taking her father’s last name, will offer opportunities to Navy “just like other members of the Biden family.”

Roberts, 31, said the Biden family remains “estranged from the child.”

“To the extent that this is misconduct or neglect, it can be corrected by changing her last name to Biden so that she will be undeniably known to the world as the defendant’s child and a member of the distinguished Biden family,” Roberts told her court filing.

However, Biden is fighting against his daughter getting his last name. He argued that adopting his surname would rob the child of a “peaceful existence”.

Hunter’s attorney asserted that the Navy should decide for itself once “the disparagement of the Biden name has not reached its peak,” the Navy said New York Post.

Biden, 52, has never met his 4-year-old daughter.

Biden initially denied being the child’s father until a DNA test in 2019 proved Navy was his daughter “with scientific certainty.”

In March 2020, Hunter Biden settled with Roberts for $2.5 million and agreed to pay child support. Then, in September of that year, Biden asked for his child support payments to be reduced because of a “significant material change” in his “financial circumstances.”

Biden met Roberts while she was working as a stripper in Washington, DC. At the time of their intimate relationship, Hunter was dating his sister-in-law Hallie Biden – the widow of his late brother Beau Biden.

Roberts reportedly worked for Hunter’s consulting firm, Rosemont Seneca.

In his 2021 memoir Beautiful Things, Biden said wrote that he has “no memory of meeting” Roberts.

President Joe Biden was criticized in the past for not acknowledging Navy – his seventh grandchild.
