AceShowbiz - Kim Zolciak has been ordered by a Georgia court to complete four mandatory therapy sessions before regaining custody of her four youngest children. This ruling came as part of an emergency custody filing by her ex-husband, Kroy Biermann, who requested sole physical custody, citing her unavailability to care for the kids.

The court decision, finalized on April 3, 2026, requires Kim Zolciak to stay away from the children—KJ (14), Kash (13), and twins Kaia and Kane (12)—until she completes the required therapy sessions. The deadline to finish these sessions is April 13, and verification will be strictly enforced to ensure compliance before custody can be reconsidered.

This custody arrangement results from a petition filed by Kroy Biermann last week, claiming that Kim has been "wholly unavailable" to the children. He alleges that during the one occasion she saw the kids between February 26 and March 28, one of the children was bitten by a dog.

The dog bite accusation is particularly sensitive for the Biermann family, as their son Kash was previously hospitalized in 2017 following a serious dog bite incident involving the family pet, Sinn. Kroy Biermann is using this recent incident to argue that the environment under Kim Zolciak's care is unsafe.

In response, Kim Zolciak strongly denies the allegations, telling TMZ that these claims are false and part of an attempt to damage her reputation. She emphasized that she has not lost custody permanently, but that the order is a temporary modification.

"These accusations are completely false and nothing more than a deliberate attempt by Kroy to defame my character," Kim said. "I spent five weeks away working on two TV shows to support my family. I will never apologize for making sure my children are cared for."

Kim Zolciak explained that she missed previous therapy sessions because she was filming abroad. She plans to complete the four required sessions during the children's Spring Break, which coincides with Kroy Biermann's scheduled parenting time.

Meanwhile, the couple continues to reside in their Milton, Georgia home, which has faced foreclosure threats over the past three years. Sources reveal their ongoing $1.1 million IRS debt is adding financial strain and may be influencing the contentious custody proceedings.

This latest legal development intensifies the ongoing custody battle between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann. With the court closely monitoring Kim's compliance with therapy requirements, the future of the children's custody remains uncertain.

As Kim balances her career commitments and parenting obligations, public opinion is divided over whether she is prioritizing her work over her family or simply striving to provide for them under difficult circumstances. The situation continues to unfold in the coming weeks as the April 13 deadline approaches.
