Kroy Biermann has taken Kim Zolciak to task for selling her valuables to ease her spiraling financial woes – and not sharing the profits.
The estranged couple, who began divorce proceedings last May, have been groaning under the weight of their joint money problems.
Zolciak has tried to lighten the load by hawking designer selections from her own wardrobe, including not just clothes but also shoes and handbags.
Biermann however alleged that the proceeds have not gone to their marital estate, despite the fact it is ‘weighed down by significant debt’ and that the two of them are now facing a ‘dire financial situation,’ according to his latest legal filing.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Biermann queried if any of the designer items were community property. Meanwhile, insiders in Zolciak’s camp insisted she bought the luxury goods before she married him and therefore they were hers alone.

Among other issues, the pair owe over $1 million in unpaid taxes, interest penalties to the IRS and about $15,000 in unpaid taxes to the State of Georgia.
Zolciak’s financial troubles include being sued by Bank Of America, which accused her of maxing out her credit card’s $50,000 limit and failing to pay it off.
In his new court documents, Biermann expressed a belief that Zolciak was married to him when she purchased the bulk of the items she is now selling.
He also theorized that the designer wares had a cumulative value that climbed into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Biermann argued that the court should pinpoint and split their joint assets, a designation encompassing personal property as well as the sprawling mansion in Georgia that the estranged couple are currently attempting to sell.
Insiders in Zolciak’s camp insisted that she spent years paying various bills of theirs on her own, and that the money she earned from selling off her wardrobe items went partly to buying Christmas presents for her and Biermann’s children.
Zolciak and Biermann were able to put their differences aside last month in order to spend Christmas together with the children in Georgia.
Although the children were treated to a heap of presents, Biermann, 38, says that the showering of gifts had nothing to do with him.

Speaking to UsWeekly, Biermann’s lawyer, Marlys A. Bergstrom, said, ‘Kroy did not buy gifts, a.k.a, “stuff” for the children.’
Bergstrom added: ‘He didn’t sell purses, shoes, or wigs to get cash to turn into material goods; no argument, that was all Kim.’
In contrast to Zolciak, the statement went on to say, ‘What Kroy did give to his children for Christmas was his TIME and undivided attention.’
It was reported that, ‘He took his children to church and then he cooked a big dinner for the family. Kroy gave his children the gift of time and Christmas memories, not just more stuff.’
‘Once the children opened the presents, Kim spent the rest of the day in her living space in the basement,’ it was added by Biermann’s attorney.
It comes after sources told TMZ that the couple pooled together money they’ve made selling their luxury personal items online to ensure that their kids did not go without gifts this year.
The insider added that their children will always be the top priority, even if there are tons of issues between the former couple.
Zolciak and Biermann celebrated the holiday as a family at their Georgia mansion.

The estranged couple share 12-year-old son Kroy, 11-year-old son Kash, and ten-year-old twins Kaia and Kane.
Zolciak has daughters Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 22, from a previous relationship and Biermann adopted them in 2013.
Right before the holiday, Biermann shared a Christmas family snap without his estranged wife.
The former professional athlete took to Instagram to post a snap with four of their youngest children.
Biermann grinned in the photo and wrote in the caption: ‘Merry Christmas from the Biermann’s!! (-2) I didn’t get a picture of the family enjoying @arianabiermann‘s church service and I had this taken after @briellebiermann and Billy had departed in the direction of their car as we were almost outside from our service.
‘I couldn’t be a more proud father of you 2 and the littles! Got to do better at remembering to capture more pictures.’
