Hunter Biden has hit back at a sensational lawsuit claiming he fathered the child of an Arkansas woman while he was living with his late brother Beau's widow. Former college basketball player Lunden Roberts filed a petition for paternity and support in May alleging Biden was the biological father of her one-year-old baby. Roberts, 28, asked the court to 'establish paternity' while seeking child support, health insurance, and legal fees from the former vice president's son.

In a response filed on Monday, Biden has demanded the suit be tossed while stating he is yet to be officially served with a court summons
In June, Roberts's attorney Clint Lancaster said he had been in touch with Biden's attorney in a bid to settle the issue privately but had been unsuccessful. Roberts, who lived in Washington, D.C. for two years where she studied at George Washington University, has refused to comment on her relationship with Biden who is more than 20 years her senior. A man at her family's isolated home in Southside, a town just outside Batesville, Arkansas, refused to speak, telling DailyMail.com: 'There's no story here. 'I don't mean to be rude but you have to leave.'

Lancaster told The Arkansas Democrat Gazette that Roberts wants to be left alone but he confirmed she is seeking money from the former vice-president's son. 'She really does not want this to be a media spectacle. She does not want this to affect Joe Biden's campaign.

Hunter shacked-up with his brother Beau's widow Hallie, after Beau's death in May 2015 'She just wants this baby to get financial support from the baby's father, Lancaster added. 'We have been in contact with Hunter Biden's attorney,' Lancaster said. 'We have attempted to work with Hunter and his attorney to settle this issue but that has not been successful.

'We are attempting to serve Mr. Biden,' he said.

In her lawsuit, filed on May 28, Roberts said she and her baby are living in Independence County, Arkansas, which includes both Batesville and Southside. She said her child was born in August last year. She referred to the infant, now 10 months old, as 'Baby Doe' and did not say whether it is a boy or girl. She asked the court to 'establish paternity of the child, finding that (Biden) is the child's biological father.' She also asked the court to order Biden to pay child support and health insurance for the child.

Her friends and family held a baby shower for her shortly before she gave birth.

Hunter Biden has been surrounded by controversy over the past few years and it is feared his escapades could affect his father's chances of winning the Democratic nomination for presidency.

He was discharged from the US Naval Reserve in 2014, less than a year after being commissioned, after testing positive for cocaine and then his name, address and email were included when the cheating website Ashley Madison suffered a security breach in 2015.
Hunter, 49, has been surrounded by controversy over the past few years and it's feared his escapades could affect his father's chances of winning the Democratic nomination for presidency. He separated from his first wife Kathleen in October 2015. She claimed in court records afterwards that he spent their money on prostitutes and drugs

He left his first wife Kathleen — the mother of his three daughters — in 2016 after 22 years of marriage and moved in with Hallie Biden, the widow of his elder brother Beau, who died from brain cancer the previous year.

In the divorce, his wife claimed he had spent 'extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills.'

Biden, an attorney with offices in Washington, D.C., split with Hallie earlier this year and on May 16 he married 32-year-old South African Melissa Cohen, whom he had only known for ten days. She had been living with a boyfriend up until April. He would have been dating his sister-in-law when Roberts got pregnant in late 2017.

His business ties to various Ukrainian oligarchs have also garnered bad publicity for his father's presidential campaign.
Efforts to contact Biden were unsuccessful.
