🔥 Quick Facts
- Custody Ruling: Judge granted Kroy Biermann temporary physical custody of all four minor children

- Allegations: Kroy claims Kim is unstable, unfit, and neglected the children’s care
Judge Rules in Kroy’s Favor After Emergency Motion
In a shocking development in the contentious divorce battle, a judge sided with Kroy Biermann’s emergency motion filed last week. The retired NFL player accused Kim Zolciak of being “unstable and unfit” to care for their kids. Kroy argued that Kim is more concerned with her career than their children’s well-being. The couple married in 2011 and filed for divorce twice in 2023.
The judge’s decision grants Kroy immediate primary physical custody until the May hearing. While the exes continue sharing joint legal custody, Kroy now has final decision-making authority on educational, medical, and religious matters. This marks the second time Kim has lost custody in recent months.

Kim Faces Second Custody Loss in Two Months
This isn’t Kim’s first custody setback. In April, she was previously stripped of custody until completing four mandatory parent therapy sessions. Back then, Kroy alleged she left the country for extended periods and missed scheduled therapy sessions with the kids. Kim’s limited parenting time lasted until she fulfilled the court-ordered therapy requirement.
Now facing similar allegations, Kim remains defiant about her parenting abilities. The RHOA star told authorities she was working on two television shows to support her family during the controversial five-week absence. At that time, Kroy accused her of missing visitations and claimed she was wholly unavailable to parent.
What Kroy Claims About Kim’s Parenting
| Claim | Details |
| Neglect Allegation | Claims Kim prioritizes work and image over children’s best interests |
| Absence Issue | She was out of country from Feb 26 to March 29, 2026, except one night |
| Therapy Violations | Claims Kim missed weekly therapy sessions during her parenting time |
| Parenting Time | Did not exercise agreed-upon parenting schedule during mediation |
“While I want this process to be over for my children more than anything, I am looking forward to our court date on May 21st when we will finally be provided with an opportunity to present the truth.”

Kim’s Response to Custody Allegations
Kim Zolciak strongly denies all allegations and vows to fight back in court. Her legal team called Kroy’s claims completely false and lacking factual support. Kim maintains she has always been a devoted mother who prioritizes her children’s needs. The television personality stated that her TV work was essential to support the family financially.
She emphasized that the current custody ruling is temporary until May 21, when she will have her chance to present evidence in a full hearing. Kim’s representatives say her ex is engaged in a deliberate attempt to defame her character and control the narrative through public discourse rather than court proceedings.
What Happens Next in the May 21 Custody Hearing?
The upcoming court date will be critical for both parents. This full hearing will determine whether Kroy’s temporary custody arrangement becomes permanent. Kim will have the opportunity to cross-examine Kroy’s allegations and present her own evidence about her parenting capabilities. The judge will hear testimony about her career obligations and the circumstances surrounding her absences.
Experts predict the hearing could determine custody arrangements for years to come. Both parties have four minor children at stake: Kroy Jr., 14, Kash, 13, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 12. The judge must weigh allegations against each parent’s actual involvement and parenting history while considering the children’s best interests above all else.
