CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz must pay $916,000 yearly in alimony and child support to his ex-wife and give up their Connecticut home under terms of a newly issued divorce decree.
The ruling in Bridgeport Superior Court, dissolves the 26-year marriage of Nantz and Ann-Lorraine "Lorrie" Carlsen Nantz. It comes after both testified about the breakdown of their marriage; Judge Howard Owens concluded neither was at fault.
Nantz, described by Owens as "our nation's most prominent sportscaster," filed for divorce last year from his wife after years of marriage counseling, according to the decree.
Although Nantz, 50, acknowledged he started dating a 29-year-old woman before the divorce was final, the judge concluded that the marriage deteriorated years earlier and "this remote event in no way contributed to the breakdown of the marriage."
Owens noted that the couple didn't share the same interests in Nantz's television career, which required frequent travel as the network's primary commentator for college football, golf and basketball, as well as appearances at charity
Under the ruling, Nantz must pay $72,000 in alimony monthly until he dies or his ex-wife remarries, and $1,000 more weekly in child support for the next two years.
In addition to this Nantz has to pay $70,000/year in Country Club fees.
.............THUMP..........................
My bad,that was me hitting the floor.......AGAIN!!
It's not like Nantz was sleeping with women all over the country. There were events where he was being honored and his wife simply refused to go. He once received a Man of The Year Award and his wife decided at the last minute she didn't feel like going. I bet if the shoe was on the other foot,Jim Nantz would get criticized from here to eternity. He also said in court that once he was given a portrait of himself but his wife wouldn't allow him to hang it up in the house.
Seeing as we live in a society where there's so much emphasis placed on men and their lack to include their wives in their professional career. I find this story to be very disturbing.Here we have a man who went out of his way to not only include his wife in his career,but provided her a lifestyle that was second to none. And this is how he gets treated?
YES,he does make a lot of money,3.2 million/year,but should she be awarded THIS much money? If she's getting $72,000/month,you would think she could pay for her own Country Club fees. That's why sometimes it's cheaper to keep her. I would be interested in getting some feedback on this one because THIS is crazy!!!
