Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian postpone hearing
After their volatile split, it looks like the dust may be settling for Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna. According to Chyna's lawyer Lisa Bloom, the exes will not appear before a judge on Tuesday, Aug. 8, as planned regarding the restraining order Chyna got on Rob after he posted graphic pictures of her on social media. Instead, they hope to settle their issues out of court. "We are working toward a resolution and wanted a little bit more time to see if we can get there," Lisa tells Us Weekly. "If we can't, we are ready willing and able to go forward with the hearing on Sept. 18." Despite the restraining order, Rob and Chyna have continued to share responsibilities for their 8-month-old daughter Dream. "They coparent pretty well in terms of scheduling," a source told Us this month. "They split the time pretty equally based on each other's schedule. They have two nannies that alternate, so that also makes it incredibly easy. A nanny is with Dream 100 percent of the time, even when she's sleeping. It's 24-hour care for Dream."
