KJ Biermann Appeals Order Allowing Interviews of Minor Children
KJ Biermann, 15, filed an appeal on November 12, 2026, challenging a Georgia judge's order that lets prosecutors hold forensic interviews of minor children in his sexual battery case. His three younger siblings filed a separate appeal the same day.
KJ Biermann, the 15-year-old son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, filed an appeal on Thursday, November 12, 2026, challenging a Georgia judge's order allowing prosecutors to conduct forensic interviews of minor children in his sexual battery case. Court documents show the exclusive Biermann fights block effort reached the state's appeals court after months of motions.
The Georgia Court of Appeals first granted him permission to pursue an interlocutory appeal. That type of appeal lets him contest the ruling before his criminal case ends.
How the dispute unfolded
Prosecutors filed an emergency motion on Sept. 17 asking for court-ordered forensic interviews of minor children. A Fulton County Superior Court judge granted the request on Oct. 5.
KJ's attorneys then asked the judge for clarification and reconsideration of the order. When that did not resolve it, they turned to the appellate court.
His attorney, Jason Sheffield, filed the formal notice of appeal on the afternoon of Nov. 12. The filing names the October order, prosecutors' original request and the defense's objections.
Siblings file separately
KJ's three younger siblings filed their own appeal the same day through their attorney, Darice Good. Their filing does not say which ruling they are challenging.
The public documents do not identify which children prosecutors want to interview. It is also unclear whether the siblings are among them or whether their appeal relates to the interviews.
Both appeals were allowed to move forward. The appeals court has not yet ruled on the underlying disputes.
On Friday, the Fulton County Superior Court clerk told Sheffield that KJ's notice of appeal needed additional information before the court records could be sent up.
The underlying charges
KJ faces seven criminal charges stemming from allegations of sexual battery and sodomy. He pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations.
He was granted a $200,000 bond after his arrest and was released under court-imposed conditions.
The filings come as his older sister, Brielle Biermann, prepares to marry fiancé Billy Seidl. When a fan asked on Instagram on Thursday how close the wedding was, she answered, "Close." It is unclear whether KJ could attend alongside his younger siblings under the court's restrictions.
A status hearing in the case is set for Jan. 20, 2027, with only attorneys required to appear. A final plea is scheduled for Feb. 10, 2027.
