HARTFORD, Conn. - 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, made Monday 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.
FILE - Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009 file photo, CBS television broadcaster Jim Nantz hosts a tribute to former NCAA college basketball president Myles Brand in Indianapolis. A Connecticut judge has ordered, Nantz to pay his ex-wife $916,000 a year in alimony and child support.

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 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 events.

"In fairness, for most of the years he prioritized his family obligation and put his wife and daughter Caroline first. As frequently happens in marriages of lengthy duration, the parties do not have the same interest and ardor for their spouses' endeavors," the judge wrote in his decision.

Under the ruling, Nantz must pay $72,000 in alimony monthly until he dies or his ex-wife remarries, and another $1,000 weekly in child support for the next two years.

Nantz's attorney, Gaetano Ferro of New Canaan, said Tuesday that the famed sportscaster only wants what's best for his daughter and will not fight the terms of the divorce decree.

"He always wanted a peaceful resolution of an unfortunate situation," Ferro said. "He never wanted a trial, never wanted it to come out this way, never wanted a public spectacle. He wants to put it behind him."

Lorrie Nantz will get their home and a separate condominium in Westport, while Jim Nantz will get their home in Houston and a luxury condominium in the Deer Valley ski resort in Park City, Utah. They were awarded joint custody of Caroline, 15.

He also must pay Caroline's college expenses until she reaches 23 years old and has to split various joint accounts with Lorrie Nantz, including the current value of his pension through the Screen Actors Guild.

He also must keep his ex-wife listed as beneficiary of a $3 million life insurance policy while he's still paying alimony and/or child support, and pay $70,000 so she can join any country club of her choice.

She had been seeking more than $1.5 million in yearly alimony and child support.

Court documents cited Jim Nantz's $3.2 million salary from CBS and other assets, including millions in other income, shared investment accounts, real estate and other property.

Nantz, who started his broadcast career at a local CBS affiliate in Salt Lake City, testified that Lorrie Nantz grew uninterested in his career over time, did not want to attend events that were important to him and didn't provide the emotional support he desired.

Lorrie Nantz said she went as often as possible, but that those events were not her life's major interest and her main focus was raising their daughter.

"They're two good people, and as sometimes happens over 26 years, they grew apart," Ferro said.

Cynthia George, Lorrie Nantz's Greenwich-based attorney, said she and her client had no comment except that they were pleased with the decision.

Why not get married?
 
Marriage is great....and has been very finacially smart for us...I love having two incomes, and I don't think that case even comes close to hitting home for anybody on this site....72k a month LOL most don't even make that in a year
 
Get married for the right reasons.

And the right reasons do not involve pussy, head or the words rack, ass, thighs or pretty. :yes:
 
Using a picutre of Barack and Michelle is admirable for your defense of marriage.

Most women aren't Michelle caliber out here :smh:

I have no defense. It was just a question. Why you getting so defensive?

I haven't made a defense.

I'm just saying the same people say this (89% of BGOL) are the same people (98% of BGOL) that say "you shouldn't have a baby out of wedlock.

What the fuck we not suppossed to have kids now?
 
The exception to the rule only proves the rule, not the exception. You simps keep focusing on the needles while letting the haystacks get out of control.

I guess Barack was focusing on that "needle" because he found a good one.

Let's be real, we do not know the dynamics of their relationship and I've read Michelle stating that they've been on the brink of divorce a few times. So even your "needle" is threaded with hay.

Did you read the article? Nigga, THAT'S THE NORM. Over 60% of marriages fail. We aren't in your parents/grand parents' era. Shit has changed and marriage is a liability for a male, PERIOD. YOu simps never review state law concerning marriage AND divorce and you never take in to account a worst case scenario situation.
 
They were married for 26 Years. After that long having that much money to split is a win-win. Fuck what you heard.
 

If all of the following conditions ARE NOT met, YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE KIDS:

1. $300,000 in savings or surplus.
2. All debt paid off.
3. 1 year emergency funds saved up.
4. With a woman, NOT A WIFE, a woman who has her head on straight with good genetics.
5. A road map from 0-18 for your child's future.

I'm just saying if it's 60% that fail then 40% suceed.

If Barack had that attitude he wouldn't have found michelle and married her.

I mean 40% isn't a needle in a haystack that's if you're right.

You have to be optimistic about it. If you think it's going to fail it will.

In the perfect world i'd agree
 
Marriage is a business deal involving love and/or money not to mention time

With that said there are many women I would invest in:cool:

Most women aren't Michelle caliber out here :smh:

And most men aren't Barack caliber either

I doubt many of you would have stopped chasing pretty skirts long enough to focus on a good but average looking woman like Michelle

bruh...get your head out the clouds...those odds are horrible...i have enough trouble finding a brawd to date longer than a month...fuck a wife

The world is not perfect because what I wrote was never agreed upon by the masses.

Poor people keep shittin out kids perpetuating generations upon generations upon generations of poverty.

Let's be real, if most parents of the kats on this board followed my guideline we'd be on some BGOL secret society Skulls type shit, more money then we'd know what to do with, we'd drink the finest likka and have the finest hos from Brazil flown in weekly while we trade stories about who has the most Mexicans working for their companies.

Well maybe you just aren't good at finding good women in the game. Like my people say "i found mine you gotta find yours".

Aint the odds of black men coming from single parent house holds like more likely to go to jail...so oh should we advise women to stay away from all black men that come from a single parent home because somewhere at about 70% of them will be felons or go to jail or whatever? There are exceptions and rules like JD said you have to know what those exceptions and rules are and find them against the grain.

There world still wouldn't be perfect despite that. But that's why we have welfare and child support. If all these dead beat dads would take upon a lil more responsiblity then we wouldn't have as big as a problem. That's realistic in a imperfect world. If most parents followed your guideline....well they wouldn't be parents.

The problem I have with Blacks talkin this "Black men need to take responsibility and be fathers..." bullshit is that these assholes NEVER talk about prevention.

How about not getting bitches pregnant in the first place?

See i know your problem. You think that you find out the exceptions after you're involved. Know you find out the exceptions before had. I've seen your kind 8,000 times.

You know the exceptions then you see how the women you approach match up to those exceptions. If they defy some of them then bingo.
