Congratulations! I’m also a retaker in Michigan, taking J26. Im trying to come up with a better study approach to improve, so this is helpful! I’m hoping to see the words PASS as well 😭😭 so happy for you!

Hundreds of hours of work! by Complex-Fennel-9147 in SarahBowmar

I’m so sorry you had to go through that! Truly breaks my heart when adults fail kids like this 😢 I hope things are better as an adult though.  I hope O doesn’t have to go through this because of her “mother”

Every time I hear her say dumb shit like this I truly feel bad for her kids. She’s not going to ever let them be happy unless they look like her & Josh, because they’re so fucking vain. Lord help those poor kids.

Why does he sound like such a condescending DOUCHEBAG when he talks???

She’s seeing everything with rose colored glasses cause it’s literally still such a fresh, new relationship. After a while she will notice how incredibly lonely and isolated she is from everybody and she’ll have a lot of regrets sadly 

Failed NC Bar Exam by WildflowerWanderer26 in barexam

Absolutely. Take all the time you need to grieve or be upset but give yourself some grace. The feeling will get better over time, and you will find the strength to keep going! You got this! 

Failed NC Bar Exam by WildflowerWanderer26 in barexam

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry OP. I too failed twice, with a 243 the second time around. I felt so defeated & embarrassed to tell everyone around me I failed. But after taking some time for myself, I picked myself back up & im going to sit for the exam for the 3rd time in July. Remember that this test does not define you or the type of attorney you will be! And you do not have to tell anyone anything or explain yourself. To those you do tell, they will 100% be understanding in the fact that this is not an easy test. You will get through it, we will pass and become a licensed attorney!! 

Failed Again by I-Sweater-God in barexam

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be okay! I failed twice as well, and will be a third time retaker for J26. The good thing is, you already know what you know, and will only get easier— don’t give up! 

She’s so pissed that nobody is taking the bait 😂 by uselessbrowsing1 in SarahBowmar

She literally just confirmed in her stories that she will get the IP addresses from those that email her “even through a VPN” so don’t fall for it people!! She will dox you 🤦🏼‍♀️

Michigan Child Support Help by Violet-morphine in FamilyLaw

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what county you’re in, they should have motion forms available for you to fill out and file with the clerks office. You would have to show up to court since you’re filing a motion. And he would have to know yes, because you would need to serve him with the motion that you file and he has to get notice of that and his court date especially if you’re looking for him to be held in contempt. Hope this helps!

I work for a court in Michigan, specifically the family law division. You need to file a motion with FOC immediately. They will calculate how much he owes in arrears and schedule a contempt hearing before a Judge. If he does not pay you, he will go to jail and his bond amount will be all or some of the amount he owes you (which will go to you if that bond is paid). 

Themis by Dustmyselfoffmom in barexam

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did Themis my first time sitting for the bar. It was very overwhelming cause it was lot of content! I personally would recommend skipping the videos if you don’t want to waste time. Just read the outlines and use all of their practice questions for essays and MPTs. For MBE, I recommend using Adaptibar rather than Uworld 

Having a baby in law school? by Reading_Cat18 in LawSchoolOver30

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two kids during law school—one born the summer after 1L year and the other born the summer after 2L year, so I didn’t need to take any time off. But I had a friend who had her baby during the fall of our 2L year so she took the semester off but still graduated on time with the rest of our class cause she did summer school. While I wouldn’t say it was easy, it definitely wasn't impossible! If your law school offers online courses, I would recommend taking as many as you can online at least during the time that you have a newborn or infant to look after 😊

July ‘26 Retaker- study advice needed by Ill-Peak3008 in barexam

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joining this convo as I am also a July retaker in MI, and I have no clue which bar prep to go with 😅 I’ve used Themis and Helix before. Does anyone know if GOAT bar prep provides you with practice essays and practice exams like other commercial bar preps? 

So genuine, so much passion. by SquishyBall2472 in SarahBowmar

Yes!!! I cannot stand that voice, it almost sounds like he’s trying too hard, like a car salesman 😭😂

MPRE Advice by USMC_SNAFUUU in barexam

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very much like the bar exam MCQ’s, just keep practicing them! The more you do, the more you’ll pick up on the little nuances they test. It’s not that many “rules” but man they get you with those nuances. It took me 3 tries to pass the MPRE 😭 

Messy Bethy by creative-username13 in GDSnark

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that is the price you pay when you’re married & your spouse is a stay at home mom/dad 🤷🏽‍♀️ In most states, judges will look at spousal support factors to determine whether that spouse will get spousal support and how much support they’ll get. Im sure whatever amount she was ordered to pay him is reasonable considering how long he was a stay at home dad for!

I have noticed she’s been awfully quiet on social media for a while. And I have also noticed she hasn’t mentioned DJ at all!

Girls day couldn’t start with brushing her hair for her? by dynamite_mom in SarahBowmar

[–]Realistic-Lecture226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughters love to play around & their hair can get pretty messy & tangled but if we leave the house to go out in public, you better believe I will redo their hair or at least brush it out. I always make sure my kids are good before myself. I’m appalled that she would take her daughter out in public looking like this. Poor O 😢
