Kroy Biermann reveals disturbing custody details and warns Kim Zolciak home is hurting their children's mental health
Kroy Biermann reveals disturbing custody details and warns Kim Zolciak home is hurting their children's mental health (Image via Getty) Kroy Biermann has asked a Georgia court to make his home the main residence for the four children he shares with reality star Kim Zolciak. The former NFL player claims that the current shared custody arrangement is harming the kids' mental health. Under the existing plan, each parent takes care of two children at a time, with the older sons and younger twins switching homes weekly. Kroy Biermann argues that this split setup is not good for the children and wants full custody to provide stability and proper guidance. Kroy Biermann details concerns over Kim Zolciak's parenting and household environment According to court documents filed by Kroy Biermann's legal team, there is a 'noteworthy absence of structure and accountability' in Kim Zolciak's home. Biermann claims that his children often lack parental supervision when at their mother's house. Biermann accuses Kim of leaving the kids home alone or with other people for long periods of time. Biermann thinks this doesn't allow it to have consistent training for the children, that are a must for their emotional and mental health. The ex-NFL player stresses how one home offers the kids more stability in routine, behavior, and their family togetherness. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Linda Kozlowski, 67, Shows Off Her Perfect Figure In A New Photo The Noodle Box Also Read: Travis Hunter Continues Two Position Role As Trevor Lawrence And Coaching Staff Monitor His Snap Count Closely Kroy Biermann explains the need for primary custody to protect children's best interests Kroy Biermann points out that the current weekly rotation between his home and Kim Zolciak's disrupts the children's daily lives. He claims the older sons and younger twins live almost separate lives, and this split can create confusion and stress for the children. Kroy Biermann says that his goal is to offer a stable environment where all four kids can be together, receive consistent guidance, and have regular parental involvement. He argues that being the primary custodian in his home would be better supervision, more structured activities and a healthier environment for the kids. The legal filing was filed in Georgia in August 2025, and Kroy Biermann's lawyers are now asking the judge for a review and to grant him primary custody. The case is gripping due to the continued disagreements between former NFL star Biermann and Kim Zolciak about how they are parenting and caring for their children. Biermann states the move has everything to do with the children's best interests, nothing to do with personal matters, and to ensure a more stable and accountable home for all four kids.

Trichy para sports arena opens sans special coaches
Trichy: A Rs1 crore para sports arena developed by Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT) has been opened at the district sports complex in Khajamalai in Trichy city. While it is user friendly for persons with disability (PwD) and touted to help para athletes participate in international events such as Paralympics, SDAT is not sure about appointing special coaches for the arena. The arena is spread over about 3,200 square feet of floor space in the 37.5-acre district sports complex on Race Course road. A sports kit storage room and administrative office room have been provided. The para sports arena was proposed for Trichy as well as in a few other cities outside Chennai as part of making sports infrastructure inclusive. It also took into account the medals secured by several para athletes from the state in Paralympics 2024 held in Paris. Two multi-purpose courts equipped with PwD-friendly access and rest rooms have been commissioned in the arena. Sports officials said that at least seven para games including para handball, para badminton, judo, para goalball, boccia, and para table tennis could be played there. Stone seats are provided around the courts and a metal roof has covered the arena to allow players use the arena in all weather conditions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Malaysians don't know about this! iOS Credit Read More Undo However, SDAT said that special coaches to train para athletes have not been appointed to provide training. "We welcome the modern facility built at Rs1 crore, but the govt could have also sanctioned funds to appoint special coaches to attract youths with disabilities to take up training for any of the seven para sports," K C Neelamegam, state treasurer, Makkal Sakthi Iyakkam, said. SDAT sources said that para athletes for now can make use of the arena, but they did not assure whether special coaches will be appointed in the near future. "A few PwD athletes are being trained along with other athletes. We don't have separate coaches to provide training for para athletes," an official source in SDAT said. Since nearby districts like Ariyalur, Perambalur, and Pudukottai will also benefit from the arena, sports enthusiasts said that coaching should be made available in the facility.
