Hunter Biden Asks Court to Stop His Baby-Mama From Changing His Child's Surname to "Biden"

What a scumbag.

Note that he is meanwhile attempting to get his child support payments reduced, claiming that his earning potential has declined.

I mean, I guess that's true.

His stated reason for blocking his child from taking his name? He says he doesn't want her to have his bad name; he says the name is sullied.

Again: True.

But this is a bad faith argument.

He doesn't want to give her his bad name.

Hunter Biden asked a judge to deny his 4-year-old daughter from taking his surname -- claiming it's a lightning rod for criticism and would rob the child of a "peaceful existence."

...

Roberts, 31, asked Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer on Dec. 27 to allow their daughter to take the Biden name, claiming it would benefit their daughter because it is "now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute and politically powerful."

LOL.

But the president's erratic son -- who was being probed for shady foreign business deals, battled crack addiction, and been filmed waiving a gun around in the nude with a prostitute -- disagreed about the value of his sullied surname.

His lawyer fired off a motion the following week to ask the judge to deny Roberts' request, arguing that his daughter should decide for herself once "the disparagement of the Biden name is not at its height."

...

Biden pointed to court filings from Roberts that reference the federal probe into his tax affairs and his dealings with Ukrainian energy company Burisma in response to his request to lower his child support payments.

Roberts' motivation is now "political warfare" against the Bidens, the first son claims, and reverses her efforts in late 2019 to redact their daughter's name and any other identifying information about her from the public court record.

...

Roberts says the Biden name will open opportunities for the girl "just like it has for other members of the Biden family."

Again, true.
