It comes after both testified about the breakdown of their marriage; Judge Howard Owens concluded neither was at fault.Jim Nantz. Michael Conroy, File / Associated PressNantz, 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.”

That’s a good paying form of employment
Where can I stand in line to get such employment and pay
John,
I think you and Curry should have a sports show with Keith Olberman! Now that would be worth watching.
Divorce and alimony laws in this country are outrageous. Every marriage should have a contract specifying that each partner leaves the marriage and nobody owes the other anything.
Whats more whack-a-mole inappropriate than an ex spouse getting a million a year in alimony? Probably the earning spouse earning 3-4 million per year!
It is “rare” in a relationship that one person does not create most of the problems. Not always, just the usual situation. No fault divorce is a “legal fiction” to make the work of judges jobs easier.
Whats “really” needed is stricter licensing rules to begin with==allow some education and a cooling off period.
Always interesting to see the interplay between ignorance/desire and experience/sound social policy.
Two entirely different worlds.
Why is this in the blog? Seriously. Why is this news?
Nantz gets to keep the majority of his salary and houses. The article makes him seem satisfied with that so what is there to argue about?
Damn, should I know this guy? What the heck makes him worth so much money?
I lost my “remote” control.
I never even heard of this guy!!!!
YAWN…………..
Why more divorce lawyers aren’t murdered I’ll never understand. I have a friend that refused to retire because he’ll have to share his pension with his ex-wife of 25 years. She’s remarried and waiting for the payoff. He says he’ll either out live her or die on the job.
No doubt. That’s a ridiculous amount of money for someone to make for performing a function of such little value. Wtf?
I am all for supporting the children. But this is rediculous. I can understand why woman marry rich men. they can’t lose.I think If I was wealthy I would never marry.
Prenuptial contracts should be manditory for all those earning over a certain dollar figure annually. Let’s face it- this kind of thing is getting totally out of hand.
I’ll bet she wasn’t triple input and swelled up like a tick.
Also, she got $70k for a country club of her choice. I’d join a club and beat her with it.
