Also, she got $70k for a country club of her choice. I’d join a club and beat her with it.

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 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.

No doubt. That’s a ridiculous amount of money for someone to make for performing a function of such little value. Wtf?

“Judge Howard Owens concluded neither was at fault”.

Then why is Judge Owens ordering Nantz to pay alimony in a no-fault divorce?

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.

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?

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.

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.

John,

I think you and Curry should have a sports show with Keith Olberman! Now that would be worth watching.
