Whether you think you were taken to the cleaners in your divorce depends on your view. Consider this: Sportscaster Jim Nantz will have to pay his ex-wife Lorrie Carlsen Nantz about $72,000 per month in alimony and about $4000 in child support every month for the next seven years. Lorrie will walk away with $916,000 per year and about $6.4 million over the entire period. Of course, Nantz has plenty of income right now and, hopefully, he won’t lose his job.
Under the terms of the agreement that dissolves a 26-year marriage, Lorrie will also get their Connecticut home. Jim as well as Lorrie reportedly broke out in tears during the trial, in which Jim Nantz testified that the relationship had died a long time ago. According to a story published by the Connecticut Post, Lorrie did not have any interest in Jim anymore, did not want to accompany him to receive a “Man of the Year” award and did not let him hang an oil painting of himself that he received as a part of the award.
Jim Nantz admitted that he engaged in a relationship with a 29-year old woman, but stated that this was the case only because his marriage had been gone already and got off the hook for that. The judge presiding over the case said that “this remote event in no way contributed to the breakdown of the marriage.”
So, what about those $916,000 per year? Court records revealed that Nantz is raking in about $7 million per year, which would indicate that, at least financially, he should be ok. Most other divorced single parents that have to pay child support (and numerous others that are supposed to received child support) and alimony aren’t in such a great shape.
