OT - DH Job Update
Good news everyone! BM2 works for the big consulting firm DH interviewed for in an HR-type role. She checked in the system and his status had been changed to pending offer!!!! She texted us so excited. As much as a PITA she was during court to lower child support, she's been much nicer since. I think seeing DH sit on the stand and have every dime he has spent scrutinized in the last 2 years made her realized he isn't lying....he has had no income coming in and we really are just spending what little savings we have almost entirely on child support.

OT - DH Interview Update Part Deux
OMG OMG OMG!!!! He has a final round interview!!!!!
Approval came through from the high ups, and he has a final round interview with Big Consulting Company on Monday morning! The HR people have been sending him tons of kiss-up emails confirming, making sure he's happy with the time, etc. etc.
The fact it took so long to approve means that, if the interview goes well, they will be making him an offer and have approval to do so. They probably won't make the offer day of, but soon after.

Divorce/Custody Advice Needed - For a Friend
A friend from mine in high school reached out to me very distraught. He married another girl from our high school a few years ago. We were all surprised because we honestly all though she was gay, but I was happy for him. He believes she is having an affair with a woman she works with (his neighbor caught them under the covers with no pants or underwear on, and she is constantly texting with this woman but deletes all the texts).

A mild one, but seriously?! Can we catch a break!!!???

Update and NYC this weekend
Hi Everyone,
Things are going OK in CBCharlotte land. DH had an interview for a decent job and he said it went pretty well. He was one of 4 they interviewed, and they will have 2 come back to meet the CEO and he will decide. They said DH will hear next week, but some of the things they said (asking him if he was interested in the job, giving him cards and repeatedly saying they will call him next week, etc) made him feel like he will be one of the 2

Final Ruling from Court
We sort of won. It did not go as well as we hoped, but any change is a positive change.
The short answer: Child support got lowered from $2,900 to $2,000. Mathematically, that is a 30% decrease.

Quick Court Update
It is still going on. They grilled him for 2 AND A HALF HOURS :jawdrop: He wasn't able to call me but they had a 20 minute break where he was talking with his lawyer and he texted me a few things.
DH: Just got off the stand. Yes I have been grilled for 2.5 hours
CB: Holy cow, how did it go?
DH: Have to go back and on for the next 20 minutes
CB: Did she have any bombshells or just trying to discredit your purchases?
DH: All about camera gear, vegas etc:

Court Just Started
DH just texted me and said he was going into the court room. I am so nervous I am nauseous. He hopes to be done and able to text or call in 3 hours.
Thanks everyone for your support!

Court is Tomorrow
DH is really starting to freak out. I just keep reassuring him it will be fine and no judge in their right mind wouldn't lower child support for someone who has been unemployed for 18 months. DH has been desperately trying to find a comparable job and hasn't even been able to find a job with a 50% or more pay cut in his field. BM2 (who he is taking to court) even attempted to help him find a job as she is in HR at a major consulting firm, and still no luck (so she can't argue he isn't trying).
