“Respondent’s time is so consumed with online gambling that she is unable to properly care for the children. As such, Petitioner is concerned for the children’s safety and well-being,” alleged the documents, which revealed that both parents “are presently in the care, custody, and control of the parties.”
Biermann’s legal team declared that this evaluation is in the best interest of all parties in order “to ascertain any underlying mental issues such as depression, anxiety, narcissistic personality disorder, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or others that are manifested through Respondent’s compulsive gambling and other behaviors indicative of additional addiction issues.”
Financial documents included in the filing show a number of payments that were made to Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange platform.
A source close to Zolciak-Biermann previously told PEOPLE of the allegations, “She’s been gambling, that’s true, but she has been winning. He is just trying to make it look like she has been losing money.”
Zolciak-Biermann recently filed a petition to have the Superior Court of Fulton Countydetermine her ex’s current drug usage.
She asked that the retired NFL player “submit to a five-panel hair follicle drug screen.” The request would require Biermann to “not cut or remove any of his hair until such time as the screen is complete.”
The documents claimed that Zolciack-Biermann has seen Biermann smoking marijuana and because of that, she “has serious concerns for the safety and well being of the minor children” under his care.
Though Zolciack-Biermann was the party who submitted this request to the court, the document stated she expects Biermann to cover the cost of a drug screening.
