I am no expert, but for normal people alimony is usually only figured in if the wife was kept from pursuing a career of her own, i.e. not going to college so she could stay at home and raise the kids. I think the settlement worked well on both sides of the fence. Divorce is never a good thing to go through and it always works out for everyone involved if a fair settlement can be agreed on. Looks like they have done that. I do agree that with his schedule, it was probably best to give custody to the ex but that can indeed be revisited when he slows down. I don't know the guy outside of his ring persona, but I get the sense he is a good guy and will make sure his kiddo is well taken care of no matter what. Kids are always the most important thing in any divorce. Assets are entirely secondary.
