In April 2026, Kim temporarily lost primary physical custody of her and Kroy’s four minor children, according to court documents obtained by E! News. The judge ruled at that time that the pair will continue to share joint legal custody of the children, but Kroy will have the final say regarding educational, non-emergency medical, and religious decisions.
Kim reacted to the decision in a statement to E! News, saying, “While I want this process to be over for my children more than anything, I am looking forward to a full court date when we will finally be provided with an opportunity to present the truth.”
Earlier in the year, Kroy filed multiple requests for permanent, sole legal and physical custody of the children, claiming in an April 2026 filing obtained by TMZ that Kim was “both unstable and unfit” as a parent and is “more selfishly concerned with her own image and her work options than with the opinions of experts and/or the best interest of the children.”
Kim’s lawyers denied the allegations, telling TMZ in April, “[Kroy’s] decision to file this motion lacks factual support and is unwarranted. We will address these claims in the proper legal forum and will vigorously defend the truth in court, rather than through public discourse.”
