``Nancy Lanza was a divorcee who got a good settlement from Adam???s
father, Peter, a General Electric executive who earned $445,000 in
2009. She didn???t work and was scheduled to get nearly $300,000 in
alimony this year. She could have afforded good care for Adam if he
needed it.''

Am I the only person for whom the above makes no sense? How can the
ex-wife get alimony that was 67% of his pretax income? What is wrong
with that picture?

"Beginning on Jan. 1, 2009, Peter Lanza?s annual alimony payments
started at $180,000, but grew yearly to $289,800 this year. Next year
they were to increase to $292,800 and to $295,800 in 2013." Plus the
house. Plus a bunch of other stuff. The alimony ends on her death.

Maybe if she'd had to go out and work...

What I am saying is that I do not understand how such an alimony is
possible. Either Peter Lanza had a lot of unreported income, or else
someone is lying about the amount of her alimony.

It is beyond strange.

What exactly could happen between Peter and his ex-wife to make him
agree to such enormous alimony?

Do you object to the (tax deductible) amount, or the life sentence?
