ARKANSAS (KFSM) — Judge Don McSpadden of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit is recusing himself from a child custody lawsuit in Arkansas brought against Hunter Biden.

According to a court record filed Tuesday (Dec. 31), Judge McSpadden did not give an explanation or reason for recusing himself.

The lawsuit was filed in Independence County, Arkansas stating that Biden and Lunden Roberts of Batesville were in a relationship and the child was born in August of 2018. Roberts has filed for child support and a request for Biden to pay healthcare costs for the child.

Hmmmmm.
Now a true journalist (or reporter as we called them back when they are somewhat believable) would pry to see the real reason this judge recused himself.
Oh, was he a Dorkbama judge or a qualified one?

Either he had skeletons in his closet or a gun to his head and said, no way.

Maybe they wanted him out to change to a preferred judge?

This is a state judge.

That said, this is going to be a long and ugly fight.

Saving his own life. Do not blame him.

This is a state judge.
The paternity suit is a state case

I would support the “gun to his head” theory.

I don’t know much about how divorce court works, but I’d bet this case is going to be one that no judge or lawyer will ever forget.

So the judge was getting kickbacks from the Ukraine too?
Does everybody get money from that small nation now? Where’s my check?/S

There are a lot of angry women signing that that petition. One was mad that her child’s custody was allegedly awarded to a registered sex offender.

[blackdog]

So Arkansas judge, fearing reprisal from the Beltway authoritarians, runs from responsibility over a child support case........

Yep. We're fork tender now.

[CreviceTool]

Maybe the judge looked over the witness list and noticed a “friend” or two among the strippers and pole dancers?
