Paternity, the paintings settlement and the 2026 fight over support

RECORD / AT A GLANCE

Documented

Paternity was established by DNA in 2019 and settled in 2020. A new agreement in 2023 included paintings. In 2026 Roberts asked the court to reopen support and hold him in contempt; the court record on those motions is still developing.
