Hunter Biden has agreed to pay monthly child support retroactive to November 2018, ending a standoff that began after the judge in his Arkansas paternity case ordered him to appear in person for a hearing to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt.

The court redacted the amount of child support that Biden agreed to pay, pursuant to his agreement with plaintiff Lunden Alexis Roberts. However, Independence County Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer noted that she "lacks sufficient information" to determine the appropriate amount of "permanent" child support "based off the defendant's income," and that modifications to the child support owed each month could be made based on additional evidence.

Contempt proceedings over Biden's repeated failure to turn over relevant financial documents have been delayed until March 1, giving Biden an opportunity to resolve the issue in the meantime by providing the information.

"The Court specifically reserves the right to retroactively amend or modify child support without the need for the filing of a proper motion by either party to modify support," the judge wrote. "If the evidence indicates that the defendant should have paid more in support than the amount set forth in this Order, the Court may order that he pay an additional amount after receiving credit for the amount he has paid."

The child support payments are to continue indefinitely until further order of the court, and will commence Feb. 1 and on the first of each following month. Biden was recently photographed driving a sports car, prompting concerns he was shirking his child-support payments.

Roberts had called for Biden to be held in contempt after he failed to provide financial information in violation of a separate court order. That prompted Meyer to call for Biden to appear in person in the Arkansas court on Jan. 29.

Biden initially denied being the father of Roberts' child, who was born in August 2018, but after a DNA test, the court ruled earlier this month that he is the biological and legal father.

WHOOPS! BIDEN CAMPAIGN TOUTS UKRAINE ACTIVIST WHO CALLED HUNTER'S ACTIONS IN COUNTRY 'VERY BAD'

Biden has been a frequent subject of conversation among Republicans as President Trump faces a Senate impeachment trial. Trump is accused of abuse of power for allegedly using military aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden's efforts to remove a prosecutor who had been looking into Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, where Hunter Biden served on the board. The elder Biden has bragged about the prosecutor's termination.

Republicans and even some left-of-center commentators have pointed out that Hunter obtained the lucrative board role at Burisma despite having no relevant experience and recently getting kicked out of the Navy for cocaine possession -- giving the appearance that he was selling influence to his father, who was overseeing Ukraine policy at the time as vice president.

During the House impeachment proceedings last year, a career State Department employee testified that he had flagged Hunter Biden's apparent conflict of interets at the time, but was told essentially not to bother the vice president's office.

Trump has indicated that he would like Hunter Biden to testify at the Senate's impeachment trial, though some GOP senators have been against the idea of having any witnesses appear.

JOE BIDEN TANGLES WITH FOX NEWS REPORTER OVER DNA TEST SHOWING THAT HE'S GOING TO BE A GRANDFATHER

Meanwhile, Roberts' attorney, Clinton Lancaster, praised Biden's agreement to pay child support.

"He's doing the right thing by finally stepping up and paying what he should've been paying," Lancaster said in a statement provided to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on Monday. "He's going to begin paying monthly child support. He's going to pay retroactive child support back to November of 2018. And he's going to pay attorney's fees and costs."

Lancaster has said he won't speak to Fox News, except to insist that his client is not accurately characterized as a former stripper.

In his motion for contempt, Lancaster argued that Biden "continues to act as though he has no respect for this court, its orders, the legal process in this state, or the needs of his child for support." Additionally, Roberts argued that Biden has essentially been an absent father.

The court had ordered Hunter Biden to turn over five years' worth of financial information by Jan. 16. He had already missed deadlines of Dec. 12 and 19 of last year.

Hunter Biden's attorney Brent Langdon did not immediately respond to Fox News's request for comment on the case's latest developments.

The case has led to wild allegations against Hunter Biden, including claims from Florida-based private investigation firm D&A Investigations that he was involved in a $156 million "counterfeiting scheme." Hunter Biden's legal team unconditionally denied the unverified claims, and called the effort another obviously bogus "scheme by a non-party simply to make scandalous allegations in the pending suit to gain media attention without any material or pertinent material."

D&A was the same firm that worked with the defense team of Casey Anthony, a Florida woman acquitted of murdering her child in a highly publicized trial in 2011. Anthony later accused the private investigator of smearing her for media attention.

D&A's website is also full of head-turning and unsubstantiated claims, including that CNN anchor Jake Tapper was a "propaganda actor" for Netflix. The website also called Democrats' impeachment efforts against Trump a "sham."
