Kim Zolciak’s estranged husband Kroy Biermann says they’re ‘destitute’ and begs court to allow sale of their $3M mansion… as he slams Kim as ‘self-absorbed’
Kim Zolciak’s estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, painted their situation as more precarious than ever in new court documents filed Monday.
The 38-year-old former NFL player again asked the judge to allow a quick sale of the divorcing couple’s $3 million home in Georgia, according to documents obtained by Page six.
In the filing, he claimed the two are now “financially destitute” due to their overwhelming debts, which he attributed largely to the 45-year-old Don’t Be Tardy star’s “allegedly reckless” spending.
Kroy now tells the judge that he and Kim could sell their house because the IRS has placed a $1.1 million lien on it.
However, he expressed hope that the worst financial penalties and losses could be avoided through a quick sale as the couple still have “some equity” in their home.
Urgent: Kroy Biermann again asked a judge Monday to allow a quick sale of the $3 million home he shares with Kim Zolciak, saying they were “financially destitute” and under a lien of $1.1 million
However, he said speed is essential as foreclosure looms on the horizon for a second time.
Kroy wrote that he hopes the money left over from the sale of the house can be used to obtain separate homes for the estranged couple, both of which would likely be more modest than their current home.
He reiterated his desire for a quick sale in the documents after Kim filed documents requesting a specific judge to oversee the proceedings.
However, the footballer claimed that Kim’s action was ‘a direct attempt to delay the sale of the property’.
Kroy’s lawyer Marlys A. Bergstrom said this earlier We weekly that she believes Kim’s goal is to delay long enough to file for bankruptcy.
That would stop the foreclosure on the house, but it would also force the two to “live together, surrounded by all that toxicity, for God knows how long.”
She added that she feared it was a reckless strategy because “it is very likely that Kroy and Kim will come away with virtually nothing.”
In the new documents, Kroy’s legal team wrote: “Time and time again (Zolciak) has stated that she will not move and therefore will not cooperate in any effort to sell the marital home.
The filing further alleged that Kim did not realize how the alleged delay strategy could harm her family.
“Unfortunately, (Zolciak) is too self-centered to realize the impact her actions will continue to have on the minor children,” they wrote.
Going solo: He claimed there was still ‘some equity’ in the house and hoped it could pay for a separate home for him and Kim
Delaying things: Kim previously filed for a specific judge to hear their case, but Kroy called that ‘a direct attempt to delay’
A doubling down: last week he again claimed that Kim abused him
In another filing late last week, Kroy continued to claim that Kim was “abusing” him.
He reaffirmed the allegations Thursday in documents requesting a court-appointed guardian for the four children he shares with his estranged wife.
The week before, Zolciak had announced a reconciliation with Biermann, despite having filed for divorce for the second time just two weeks earlier, and there is no evidence from his own court records of a new arrangement between them.
Amid their renewed divorce proceedings, he stated in his filing that the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum continues to use “abusive, profane, and threat-laden language toward him” with “little concern when the children are present.”
In the reports obtained by Page sixhe also said that he is “trying to protect the children from the negative consequences” of their divorce.
The couple shares four children: Kroy Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia and Kane, nine.
He also expressed concern about the television personality’s return to reality TV, saying that if given the chance, she would use the Bravo show as an opportunity to “gain attention” by talking about their breakup .
Biermann also claimed that Zolciak leaves him to care for the children and has spent “little time at home” since their divorce.
In court documents, he describes “doing all the work, cleaning the house, picking up the children and preparing their meals.”
He explained that this was because they had to “fire the nannies, chefs and housekeepers” because of their money problems.
He described their divorce as “far from amicable,” despite Zolciak previously announcing they had reconciled and claiming they were “working on their marriage.”
Just last week, Zolciak had taken to her Instagram to shut down “the lies,” saying that she and Biermann are still “living as husband and wife.”
In June, Biermann had filed for a guardian for their children when they first filed for divorce.

They reconciled soon after, but the ex-linebacker resumed their divorce proceedings just six weeks later in August.
He has requested sole legal and physical custody of their four children, as well as permission to sell their $3 million marital assets in Georgia to help cover their “significant debts.”
According to TMZ, his attorney Marlys A. Bergstrom claimed that the couple has racked up more than $1 million in debt and is facing a possible home foreclosure.
Through his lawyer, he publicly begged his estranged wife to sign a joint consent agreement that would begin the process of vacating the house and solving their money problems.
