The journey to Zolciak and Biermann's marriage dissolution began last May, but the divorce filing was dismissed in September following signs of reconciliation. The TV personality reportedly told the judge that she and her estranged husband slept in the same house.

However, Biermann argued that their marriage was irreconcilable and filed another paperwork two months later. He also asked for sole legal and physical custody of their four children. Zolciak followed in his footsteps in October with a divorce filing.
