Hunter's four-year-old daughter won't get Biden name but will get one of his ... trends now
The details of the agreement reached between Hunter Biden and his Arkansas baby mama were published Thursday, and they show his four-year-old daughter will be given some of his paintings even if she won't get his surname.
The deal ends years of bitter wrangling between Biden and Lunden Roberts over support for four-year-old Navy Joan Roberts.
Parts of the deal were redacted before being released by Independence County Circuit Court in Arkansas.
But they show Biden, who took up painting as part of his recovery from alcohol and drug addiction, must hand over some of his finished canvases.
'The child shall select the painting which shall either be sent to the child or sent to a gallery designated by Lunden Roberts,' the order says.
'The net proceeds of any sales of paintings shall be wired to an account designated by Lunden Roberts.'

'The Plaintiff withdraws her counterclaim for name change of the child,' says clause nine of the order.
It comes during a tumultuous period for the president's son.
Last week he managed to avoid jail time with a plea deal that ended a years long federal investigation of his tax affairs and gun owenership.
And on Thursday, he arrived at a Delaware courthouse to be quizzed under oath as part of a defamation case brought by the computer repair shop owner who worked on his now-infamous 'laptop from hell'.
All the while, he has been embroiled in a case involving former flame Roberts.
It began as a paternity dispute in 2019, when Roberts gave birth to a baby girl. Biden denied paternity, but a DNA test confirmed that he was the father, and he agreed to pay $20,000-a-month.
The latest twist came after Biden applied to reduce his monthly payments.
Biden took up painting as part of his recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. But the paintings triggered an ethics controversy amid claims their high prices could lure buyers intent on trying to curry favor with his father
