She is seeking primary custody and joint legal custody of the couple’s four children, 9-year-old twins, and two sons ages 10 and 11, People reported.
According to court papers obtained by TMZ, Zolciak will begin using her maiden name and will seek spousal support from Biermann, 37.
The couple met at a charity event when Zolciak was on “Real Housewives,” and Biermann, a former Atlanta Falcon, was a participant at the event.
Zolciak became famous as a breakout star on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” which airs on Bravo. She left “Real Housewives” to be the star of her own show, “Don’t Be Tardy.” That show ran for eight seasons and chronicled her life with Biermann and the couple’s children.
In the past year, the couple has faced financial issues.
The IRS filed federal liens in excess of $1.1 million against the couple, according to Forbes.
The federal tax liens on file are for the tax years 2013, 2017, and 2018, and were assessed in 2019, 2020, and 2023. As of March 30, 2023, they totaled $1,147,834.67. A state tax lien for 2018 worth over $15,000 was also filed by the state of Georgia.
In a notice published in the Fulton County Daily Report on Feb. 15, Truist Bank said the couple’s mansion was scheduled to be auctioned off on the steps of the Fulton County courthouse on March 7 after the couple reportedly defaulted on a $1.65 million loan.
The home was not auctioned off.
