BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) -- A Connecticut judge has ordered CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz to pay his ex-wife $916,000 a year in alimony and child support.

Monday's ruling comes after Nantz and his ex-wife, Lorrie, testified about the breakdown of their 26-year marriage. Bridgeport Superior Court Judge Howard Owens concluded neither was at fault.

Nantz must pay $72,000 monthly in alimony until he dies or his ex-wife remarries, and another $1,000 weekly in child support for their 15-year-old daughter, Caroline, for the next two years. Lorrie Nantz will get their six-bedroom home in Westport.

Court documents cited Jim Nantz's $3.2 million salary from CBS and other yearly assets.

Nantz's attorney says Nantz will not appeal the decision.

Yeah, 1/3 of your salary pre-tax is pretty steep.

Child support is one thing but alimony is complete BS

26 years ago i'm sure he was some hack at a local news station, so i doubt he was worried about a prenup then.

Thats insane, but the courts look at it as thats been her standard of living and he has to support it. Women, you cant live with em, you cant...well i probably shouldnt say that here.

 

[Big Dakota]

That's why you don't marry the *****.

Is that if you get married there, or reside there?

IIRC, you must be a Texas resident for six months to file for a divorce in Texas, in addition to being a resident of the county in which you file for 90 days.
