Kim Zolciak is no longer facing the possibility of jail time in her divorce case. A Georgia judge ordered the former RHOA star to pay $2,535 in unpaid fees to the guardian ad litem in her case with Kroy Biermann. If she does not pay by next month, she could face jail time.
Sources told TMZ that Kim paid the bill in full on Tuesday, July 14, closing out the immediate threat.
In a divorce filled with years of headlines about foreclosure fears, unpaid bills, and courtroom fights, a $2,535 debt almost led to a jail warning. This shows how detailed and tiring this case has become. This was not a fight over millions. It was a fight over a fee smaller than some of the couple’s old monthly bills.
What The Guardian Actually Does
The fees are for the court-appointed guardian ad litem. Their work in this case has been significant. The judge had the guardian interview Kim, Kroy, and their four kids. This was to help decide custody in the divorce.
That role has made the guardian a flashpoint between the exes. Kim has criticized the guardian before. She claims her concerns about Kroy’s parenting and the alleged abuse were ignored. She feels the guardian favored Kroy.
Kroy tells a different story entirely. He claims the children suffered mental abuse from Kim. He also dismisses Kim’s accusations of bias as nonsense.
Both sets of claims are still just claims. The custody issues are still not settled in court. Even the neutral party in this case became a battleground. This shows how little common ground remains between the two.
A Divorce With No Finish Line In Sight
Kim and Kroy have battled over custody and support for years. This payment settles just a small part of that issue. The core disputes remain open.
The fallout has reached the couple’s adult children too. Kim’s daughter, Brielle Biermann, said she hasn’t spoken to Kroy in a while. She also thinks he won’t come to her wedding, according to TMZ.
That detail might sting more than any court filing. Kroy adopted Brielle and raised her. A wedding without him there would make the family’s split permanent, beyond any custody order. The $2,535 is paid. The bigger bills in this divorce, the ones no check can cover, are still adding up.
