Lorrie Nantz, CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz’s wife, is doing a dance of joy somewhere right now and probably lifting a glass of expensive champagne in a toast with her girlfriends. Lorrie Nantz was awarded $916,000 a year in alimony and child support in the couple’s divorce settlement today as well as their family home in Connecticut.

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.

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.”

Jim Nantz must now pay $72,000 in alimony monthly unless he dies or Lorrie Nantz remarries (note to Lorrie — take a lover, don’t remarry). He must pay and additional $1,000 a week in child support for the couple’s 15 year old daughter.

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