Kim Zolciak filed for an emergency court hearing earlier this month amid her ongoing divorce from Kroy Biermann, filing several motions against her estranged husband.
Zolciak, 46, is “gravely concerned about the children’s best interests when left in the care” of Biermann, 39, one motion claims, according to court documents obtained by Luxury Handbag Shopping. (TMZ was first to report the news on Wednesday, February 19.)
Furthermore, Zolciak has “significant concerns” regarding Biermann’s mental health when it comes to the well-being of their four minor children — sons KJ, 13, and Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 11. (Biermann is also the adoptive father of Zolciak’s daughters Brielle, 27, and Ariana, 23, from past relationships.)
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum also alleged that Biermann “has taken steps to completely cut the children off” from Zolciak and reportedly has an “inability to refrain from disparaging” her in front of their kids. “His explosive temper raises concerns that [Biermann] is suffering from an undiagnosed mental health disorder which may require follow-up or treatment,” the docs read. Zolciak also alleged that Biermann has “taken possession” of the four minor children’s cell phones.
A subsequent motion claimed that Biermann “unilaterally directed [Zolciak] that she would no longer have parenting time with any of the children” and allegedly “prohibited” their four kids from communicating with her. Biermann allegedly “barricades the minor children at his new residence during the day, only returning for the minor children to sleep and take the bus to school.”
Zolciak also resurfaced claims that she made previously, alleging that Biermann is suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), which is “a progressive degenerative disease affecting people who have suffered repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries,” per the Indiana University School of Medicine.
Zolciak has claimed that addressing Biermann’s mental health is “essential in determining the proper custody and parenting time schedule that serve the children’s best interests,” in the docs. She also “respectfully requests that the Court appoint qualified professionals to conduct psychological and medical evaluations” of Biermann.
A separate motion claimed that the “instant emergency situation dictates the need for the involvement of a guardian ad litem” for their four minor children as custody is determined.
Zolciak and Biermann were married for 11 years before they filed for divorce in May 2023. The same court documents obtained by Us this week show that Zolciak has also filed a motion to seal the case as their divorce proceedings continue.
