Overview
- Roberts asked Independence County Circuit Court to reopen the case, hold Hunter Biden in contempt, and jail him as a civil penalty until he complies with prior orders.
- Court papers say the 2023 agreement cut monthly support to $5,000 from $20,000 and tied part of support to proceeds from specified paintings and works the child could select.
- The motion alleges Biden stopped scheduled communications with their daughter in 2024 and failed to let her choose the promised artworks, causing emotional harm.
- Roberts seeks higher monthly support, arguing Biden’s finances have changed and that her daughter lacks the lifestyle parity of his other children.
- The filing, first circulated on X by the nonprofit Marco Polo, is pending before Judge Holly Meyer with no reported court ruling or public response from Biden’s legal team.
