Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son, has been ordered by a judge to appear in an Arkansas court in his paternity case.

Independence County Circuit Judge Holly Meyer ruled Monday that the younger Biden and Lunden Roberts, who is suing Biden for child support, must appear at the hearing scheduled for Monday.

“From now on ... I want both of your clients at every hearing I conduct," Meyer said, per the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "I will no longer allow us to excuse clients ... because it is interfering with the progress of litigation, which is taking way too long to get over simple points."

The judge also announced the next hearing would be scheduled for 9 a.m. on Monday at the courthouse in Batesville, Arkansas, per the outlet.

The child between Biden and Roberts was born in Arkansas in August 2018. The child was conceived while he was in a relationship with Hallie Biden, his brother Beau Biden's widow, and has been living with her mother.

Biden had initially denied paternity and any memory of meeting the mother at the Mpire Club in Washington, D.C. A DNA test in 2019 proved his paternity, and Biden settled with Roberts for $2.5 million in 2020, but the case was later reopened.

In December 2022, lawyers for Roberts filed to change the surname of her 4-year-old daughter to "Biden," arguing the Biden name is "now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful."

A trial in the case is scheduled for July 24-25, per the outlet.
