Kroy Biermann Moves for Sole Custody as Kim Zolciak Divorce Battle Heats Up
Kroy Biermann moved Monday to end his and Kim Zolciak’s joint custody and take sole custody of their minor children, asking a Georgia judge for an immediate change, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
Another turn in the Zolciak–Biermann divorce mess: Kroy wants sole custody of the kids, and he is asking a Georgia judge to move fast.
What Kroy is asking for
Per court papers Us Weekly says it obtained on Monday, March 30, Kroy Biermann, 40, is asking the court to ditch his and Kim Zolciak's current joint setup and give him primary custody of their four minor kids: KJ (14), Kash (13), and twins Kaia and Kane (11). He also wants the change made immediately.
In the filing, the former NFL player paints Kim, 47, as failing basic parenting duties — the language is pretty harsh — and says she has been out of the country and skipping her parenting time. He also claims that during one night the kids were with her, one of the minors was bitten by a dog. TMZ was first to report the new filing.
Kim fires back
Kim is not taking that quietly. In a statement to Us on Monday, she denied everything and said the work trip that took her away was exactly that — work.
"These accusations are completely false and nothing more than a deliberate attempt by Kroy to defame my character. I spent five weeks away working on two TV shows to support my family and make sure my children are cared for — something I will never apologize for. 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."
Us says they have reached out to Kroy's reps for comment.
Quick catch-up on how we got here
- They filed for divorce in May 2023 after 11 years of marriage. No settlement yet, and custody has been a constant flashpoint.
- The current plan is unusual: at any given time, each parent has two of the four minors.
- Last year, in an August 2025 filing, Kroy also asked for sole custody, alleging the kids were not getting proper parental guidance with Kim and that she often left them alone or with others for long stretches. He further claimed the children were subjected to emotional and psychological abuse while with her. Kim's rep strongly denied all of that.
- In November 2025 at BravoCon, Kim told Us she just wants this over, wants to co-parent, and says she has tried to work with Kroy but it has not been productive.
- Beyond the four minors, Kim is mom to Brielle (28) and Ariana (24) from previous relationships; Kroy legally adopted both during the marriage.
Bottom line: the custody fight that started with their 2023 split keeps finding new gears. Kroy wants the judge to upend the current two-and-two arrangement now; Kim says the accusations are flat-out false and tied to her being gone five weeks to film two shows. Expect more filings — and more heat — before anything gets settled.
