Kim Zolciak Ordered To Complete Therapy Amid Custody Loss
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, a Georgia judge told Kim Zolciak that the kids she shares with Kroy Biermann will stay with him from April 3 until she completes four parent therapy sessions. The order also says Kim can reunite with her kids as early as April 13. In his filing, Kroy claimed Kim missed court-ordered therapy sessions and spent two weeks out of the country. He said she only saw their kids one night — and that same night, a dog bit one of their children.
Kim, however, spoke with TMZ and shut those claims down. She said Kroy’s accusations are false and just an attempt to defame her character. The ‘Tardy For The Party’ singer said she spent time away from her kids to film two television shows to help provide for her family.
“I refuse to be bullied or have lies twisted into a narrative about who I am. I will not stay silent, the truth is on my side, and it will come to light—no matter how hard anyone tries to bury it,” Kim said in a statement.
According to Page Six, the new ruling dropped just days after Kroy asked for sole custody, citing Kim’s alleged “mismanagement of basic parenting responsibilities.” Kim and Kroy share four children together — Kroy Jr., 14, Kash Kade, 13, and 12-year-old twins, a daughter Kaia Rose and a son, Kane Ren. Kim also two daughters from previous relationships, Brielle Biermann and Arielle Biermann, whom Kroy legally adopted in 2013.
Details On Kim & Kroy’s Divorce
Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann filed for divorce in May 2023 and officially listed their separation date as April 30. As The Shade Room previously reported, Kim wrote in her filing that their marriage was “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.” Both of them requested sole physical custody of their kids, and Kroy also asked for sole legal custody. Two months later, in July 2023, the couple decided to work on their marriage instead of going through with their split. TMZ reports that Kim asked the court dismiss her divorce petition. Then in August, 2023, Kroy refiled the petition, per Page Six.
