Biden and Roberts met when she was working as a stripper at the Mpire Club in Washington, D.C. At the time Biden was dating Hallie Biden, his dead brother’s widow.
In court papers filed by Roberts she said that she worked for him between May and November 2018, although she did not say what she did.
She provided the court with paystubs and a health insurance card provided by Biden.
Roberts demanded custody of her 16-month-old child with Biden, claiming he wouldn’t even be able to ‘identify the child out of a photo lineup’, according to court papers filed in Independence County, on Monday evening.
The 28-year-old said Biden is a ‘stranger’ to their toddler, as she also filed a motion seeking the court to find Biden in contempt for not handing over his relevant financial records for the past five years.
Also on Monday, private-eye firm, D&A Investigations filed papers in support of Roberts’ case, claiming it had been investigating Biden since August 2016 and alleged he is the subject of multiple criminal investigations.
The firm is headed by Dominic Casey, who worked on Casey Anthony’s defense team in her daughter’s murder case, DailyMail.com can disclose.
Casey also claims that Biden and John Kerry’s stepson Christopher Heinz are involved in a $150 million counterfeiting scheme in Ukraine.
But the judge in the case took just six and a half hours to toss the claims out, saying they had not been filed properly.
Biden’s lawyer Brent Langdon called Casey’s attempt to get involved ‘a scheme by a non-party simply to make scandalous allegations in the pending suit to gain some quick media attention,’ and asked for it to be stricken from the record. He asked Judge McSpadden to award Biden costs against Casey.
Donald Trump demanded that Hunter, pictured with his dad Joe, be called as a witness in his impeachment trial since he is at the center of the trial based on his role with Burisma

Judge Don McSpadden has ordered Biden, 49, to provide his financial details so paternity payments can be set at a hearing on January 7.
Earlier this month, Donald Trump demanded that Hunter be called as a witness in his impeachment trial since he is at the center of the trial based on his role with Burisma.
The president has ramped up the pressure on Hunter in recent months.
In October he tweeted: ‘Where’s Hunter?’ and in another tweet he wrote: ‘He has totally disappeared!’
Trump started using the ‘Where’s Hunter?’ slogan at political rallies and his 2020 campaign website is even selling $25 T-shirts that read ‘Where’s Hunter?’.
