The estranged couple did not respond to court documents within 15 days, resulting in a court order on October 27 for them to pay the bank $226,836.22. In addition, they owe $178.51 in interest fees dating back to October 5, $2,071.57 in foreclosure fees, $1,945.31 in attorneys’ fees, and $59.50 in per diem charges. This lawsuit by Simmons Bank, initially filed in July, pertains to a defaulted home equity line of credit belonging to Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann.
Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann were married in 2011 and have children Kroy “KJ” Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia and Kane, 9. Biermann also legally adopted Zolciak-Biermann’s two eldest daughters, Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 22.
Kim faced a lawsuit from a debt collection company for $156,080.64, which includes interest from the alleged failure to make payments on her HSBC/Saks credit card that had a limit of $115,000, following the Simmons Bank lawsuit.
Additionally, the exes reportedly owe the IRS $1.1 million in unpaid taxes.
Both Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann filed for divorce in May but were quick to reconcile that July.
Biermann filed for divorce for the second time in August, claiming their marriage was "irretrievably broken." He requested full legal and physical custody of their minor children and exclusive access to their Atlanta home, which he put on the market shortly after. In the filing, Biermann expressed his hope that the sale of the house would provide enough income for each of them to secure their own residences and remove the children from the toxic environment. The house was initially listed at $3.2 million in early October, but the listing price has since been increased to $6 million.
In the subsequent month, Biermann submitted individual court papers claiming that his estranged wife was trying to prolong their divorce proceedings in order to remain in their house for a longer period. Additionally, it came to light that the house was scheduled for foreclosure that month. A temporary order, issued in late October, permitted both Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann to have "exclusive use" of the house until it is sold.
