My husband was just fired. What should we do next? - My husband was just fired from his job about 4 hours ago for attendance issues.

To make a long story short, we had our first baby in April and it's been rocky. I suffered from bad PPD and we don't have a support system here. He took off 2 weeks for paternity leave, then periodically would use his PTO for doctor appointments, etc. His boss wasn't happy and gave him a final warning last month about his absences, and then my husband voluntarily switched to part time (I WFH, full-time, very demanding legal job).

Wednesday night at 1am we had to take our cat to the emergency 24/7 vet. Didn't get home until nearly 4am. Husband works at 7am. He told his boss, who said it was fine, then today he was fired for attendance.

I've already taken the following steps:

\- student loan IDR recalculation

\- canceled all subscriptions, e.g. Netflix

\- looked into WIC (we now qualify, I have an appointment in two weeks)

I'm assuming he doesn't qualify for unemployment since he was terminated for cause.

We have about $2000 in our emergency fund. I make $65k salary, which translates to $1700ish every two weeks. Our expenses are $900 rent, $350 car insurance, $80 renters insurance, $80 internet, $80 cell phone bill, $70 pet insurance, $70 medical bills, $200 his car loan. When student loans kick back in, I currently am set to pay $270 a month, but I just put in for that to be recalculated.

I use YNAB religiously. I'm hoping he gets a job quick, but neither of us have been fired before and I don't know how to handle the situation when it comes up in interviews.

Is there anything else we should be doing or anything else I missed?

Thank you for your time.

**EDIT:** I'm getting a lot of comments, and frankly that's overwhelming. I'm grateful for all the comments - helpful or otherwise - and I may not have replied but I read every single comment. To repeat a couple things I've said in the comments:

* His ex-employer was less than 50 people. He did not qualify for FMLA.
* The two weeks paternity leave was company policy, not FMLA.
* My husband chose to attend baby's doctor appointments, her radiology appointments and her procedures. I was at every one of these appointments. I did not make him go. I did not twist his arm and force him to go. He chose to go to these appointments.
* Yes my car insurance rate is higher than Snoop Dogg. I live in Michigan. I am shopping around for better rates.
* I do not pay utilities. I am in a house, not an apartment. I just pay rent, to my mother-in-law, who owns the home. She pays for all utilities.
* I am still waiting for the claim to process from the emergency vet, so I do not know how much I'm getting back from pet insurance.
* My car is a 2017 Ford Fusion, he has a 2016 Ford Focus.
* We did not both go to the vet. I worded it poorly and I'm sorry for the confusion. He took the cat to the vet because he was able to catch her, and I was a blubbering, emotional mess and was scared to drive in my emotional state. I stayed at home with baby.
* He is applying for unemployment anyway. Worth a shot.
