    Sad end to a 26 year marriage. I realize this probably happens on a smaller scale in divorce settlements all the time, but there is just something not right about the woman getting THAT much in alimony when it was basically a mutual divorce and they had tried counseling.

    Supporting his kid through college is one thing, but having to fork over cash so his wife can live a lavish lifestyle and join "any country club of her choice" is ridiculous.

    I really don't understand the divorce customs in this country.

    Jim Nantz making 7 million a year is even more ridiculous.

    Idiot. Should have filed for divorce in Texas. NO ALIMONY!!!! (Yes, there is spousal maintenance but I SERIOUSLY doubt she would have qualified.)

    When you think about it, he's everywhere on CBS. He does the College Basketball in the Spring, Golf pretty much year-around, and then of course the NFL in the fall.

    "Only" 3.2 million of his income is from his duties at CBS.

    If he's making $7m/year, $1/m alimony after the breakdown of a 26 year marriage might be the going rate. Hopefully there are provisions in there in case his income goes down.

    Crazy rich people. He seems OK with it, so I guess I'll let it go.

    I don't condone excessive alimony, but I also don't condone cheating on your wife.

    I didn't know that a parent could be legally required to pay college tuition for a child over the age of 18.

    Going rate or not, you would think this woman had no capability of making a living for herself based on what they are giving her. I mean geez...she's not his dependent anymore.

    It's just a shame that she gets a free ride for life just because her marriage fell apart. It just should not work that way.

    "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.”"

    I think he makes a good living for himself with endorsements and speaking engagements as well.

    they were in a partnership for 26 years. she shouldn't be left to live a lifestyle she is not accustomed to regardless of how much she did or did not contribute financially.
