Kim Zolciak Clarifies Counseling Session Issues Amid Kroy Biermann Custody Battle

UPDATE: 4/3/26  at 11.13pm ET

Kim Zolciak has clarified the role counseling sessions are playing in her custody battle with ex Kroy Biermann.

Posting a lengthy statement via her Instagram Stories on Friday, April 3, Zolciak insisted she has “not lost custody of my children, nor has there been any modification to the custody arrangement.”

“I signed a temporary custody order at the end of January. The order clearly states that both the mother and father are to participate in two counseling sessions per month for two months, followed by one session per month thereafter. I was out of the country from February 26 through March 28 due to contractual filming obligations on two separate productions,” she wrote.

She added, “During that time, I did not have a single day off, making it impossible to attend the required counseling sessions. Kroy as of today (I had KJ and Kash up until 5pm today) currently has the children for spring break, which is his designated parenting time under the existing agreement. I am scheduled to resume my parenting time when the children return on Friday. My counseling sessions are scheduled and will be completed next week.”

 Zolciak concluded, “For the avoidance of any doubt, I have not lost custody of my children, nor has there been any modification to the custody arrangement outside the agreed upon temporary order.”

Original story below:

Kim Zolciak won’t be allowed to see the kids she shares with estranged husband Kroy Biermann until she completes therapy.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, a Georgia judge approved a temporary parenting plan where KJ, 14, Kash, 13, and 12-year-old twins Kaia and Kane will remain in Biermann’s physical custody from the time they are released from school on Friday, April 3, “until [Zolciak] completes four sessions of parent therapy …. But no earlier than April 13.”

The judge ruled that once Zolciak, 47, completes her four sessions as required, the parties shall “resume operation under the existing court-ordered parenting plan, which otherwise remains in full force and effect until further agreement and/or modification by this court.” (TMZ was first to report the news.)

Court documents revealed that during the week of March 30, KJ and Kash were in Zolciak’s custody, while Kaia and Kane were in Biermann’s custody. (Us has reached out to Biermann and Zolciak’s teams for comment.)

Zolciak is also mom to Brielle Biermann, 29, and Ariana Biermann, 24, from previous relationships. They are unaffected by the court order.

The ruling comes shortly after Kroy, 40, asked a Georgia state judge to immediately change the pair’s current joint custody arrangement.

According to court documents obtained by Us, the former football player is seeking primary custody of his and Zolciak’s four children. Kroy claimed in his filing that Zolciak had exhibited “blatant mismanagement of basic parenting responsibilities [that] would be practically unbelievable to anyone not familiar with the circumstances.”
