Kim Zolciak Speaks out After Losing Primary Custody of Kids

Kim Zolciak is ready for her day in court. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star just suffered a blow in her divorce when a Georgia judge granted her estranged husband, former NFL player Kroy Biermann, primary physical custody of their four minor children.

Under a previous order, the two were splitting custody, with each having two children at a time and swapping. Recently, Biermann sought full custody of all four, claiming Zolciak missed parenting classes.

A judge honored Biermannโ€™s request until Zolciak finished the classes within a week, attributing her missing the classes to her work/travel schedule. But that wasnโ€™t enough, Biermann went back to court to seek full custody on a more permanent basis, saying all four children should be together at once and are more stable under his care. A judge agreed, after reportedly hearing from a court appointed who has been working with the children for a year now and analyzing whatโ€™s been going on.

Within the new order, Zolciak gets alternating weekend visits and is limited during the week, under Biermannโ€™s discretion. Though they currently still split legal custody, a judge awarded him final decision making in most areas. 

Zolciak says sheโ€™s fighting back and ready to reveal the ugly truth. When speaking to TMZ, Kim insisted the decision was only a temporary one made and a full hearing is already scheduled. She also said Biermann filed the emergency motion so their case would go before a senior judge rather than their assigned judge, who she alleges previously denied Kroyโ€™s requests for immediate hearings due to him filing things she called โ€œfalse,โ€ Reality Blurb reports.
