Interesting read on Douglas Johnson’s divorce decree (http://www.leagle.com/xmlResult.aspx?xmldoc=in%20bco%2020100610925.xml&docbase=cslwar3-2007-curr)
He was paying his ex-wife $25K/month in alimony plus $10K/month for house staff. I guess he thought that Johnson Broadcasting would continue on but instead she ended up with everything. Divorce is a bad, bad thing.
