Hunter Biden reached a temporary child support agreement with plaintiff Lunden Alexis Roberts days before he was required to appear in court, a new case filing shows.
The agreement compels Biden to pay an undisclosed sum in monthly child support starting Feb. 1. Biden will also pay child support retroactive to Nov. 1, 2018, when he stopped paying voluntarily.

The agreement allows Biden to avoid the mandatory court appearance as his father Joe Biden approaches February’s Iowa caucuses.
Biden has until March 1 to produce the financial documents, which will be used to determine the exact amount of child support he will pay.
