"Specifically, the averments regarding the Child’s emotional state, her relationship with Defendant, and their communications and bonding … are not relevant to contempt or modification of child support," his lawyer Davis Langdon said.
The son of former President Joe Biden has five children, including three from ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and one with his current wife, Melissa Cohen.
Roberts previously noted that the child and Biden had shared a brief period of bonding, speaking several times during a series of scheduled calls until "suddenly and without warning or explanation, Mr. Biden ghosted (Navy)," and caused Navy to experience "emotional trauma," according to the motion.
"This has caused issues for (Navy), who recently experienced emotional trauma at a family member’s wedding when she realized that her dad would not walk her down the aisle or dance with her at her own wedding reception," she said.

He added that he does not need to provide additional child support Robert is further seeking, despite her citing his recently improved "lavish lifestyle" and the disparity between Navy’s life and that of his other children, because she has not proven that his financial situation has in fact changed.
During the 2023 settlement, Roberts consented to reducing monthly child support payments from $20,000 to $5,000, according to the New York Post. The agreement also provided for some of the payments to be made with Biden's paintings.

Biden's legal team further added that Robert’s allegations over the years were all made "merely for the purpose of embarrassing Defendant and making a national spectacle of Defendant’s personal life."
