Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak’s estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, spent over $2,000 to have his lawyer watch her appearance on a recent TV show, while debating whether he should file for bankruptcy, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Kroy’s divorce lawyer, Ryan Proctor, broke down the recent $18,100 invoice he sent to the ex-NFL star for work done on the bitter divorce
Ryan attached invoices to the filing that show Kroy, 39, owed the law firm a total of $79,000 as of October 17. In his motion, Ryan revealed that Kroy has discussed the possibility of filing for bankruptcy.
In late August, Kroy’s lawyer billed him for over three hours of work to research bankruptcy options.
Throughout the month of September, Kroy’s lawyer worked on determining the bankruptcy pros and cons for Kroy. On September 10, the attorney had a call regarding “bankruptcy strategy.”
At the end of the month, the lawyer said he worked on the potential next steps for a bankruptcy. On September 26, the lawyer also billed Kroy for “watching Kim in Surreal Life and noting her mention of divorce or disparaging client.”
Kim, 46, appeared on MTV’s reality show The Surreal Life where she lived in a house with several other celebrities.
She became close with her costar Chet Hanks during filming in Columbia.
As In Touch previously reported, Kim and Kroy have been in and out of court since initially splitting in May 2023. The couple wed in 2011 and share four children: Kroy, Kash and twins Kaia and Kane.
Kroy adopted Kim’s daughters from a previous relationship, Brielle and Ariana, in 2013.
Last year, the exes filed dueling divorce petitions. Both demanded primary custody of their kids and support. Kim and Kroy reconciled months later. After the attempt to save their marriage failed, Kroy filed for divorce a second time in August 2023.
As part of the court battle, Kim accused Kroy of smoking marijuana and Kroy accused Kim of having a gambling problem. Kroy said Kim had spent “substantial time and marital funds” on gambling.
Both denied the accusations. The pair was also hit with a $1 million tax lien by the IRS in 2023 and have been hit with countless lawsuits over debts in the past year.
At the moment, the former couple is currently trying to unload their seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom, 15,694 square-foot mansion in Georgia.
They filed a lawsuit to prevent the home from being foreclosed. They asked for additional time to find a buyer but have been unable to sell it despite slashing the price multiple times.
As part of a lawsuit, Kim filed an emotional declaration. She told the judge, “We strongly believe that the proceeds from its sale can help alleviate our financial difficulties and secure a stable future for our children. However, the impending threat of foreclosure is looming over us, and time is of the essence.”
“Kroy and I will face insurmountable financial hardships, and the most devastating consequence will be the impact on our children, who would be left homeless,” she said. The fight is ongoing.
