It might be the beginning of the end of the bloody battle going on between Paul McCartney and his soon-to-be ex-wife, Heather Mills. The two met up in court yesterday to discuss the division of Paul's $1.6 billion assets. Reportedly, Mills is looking to get $120 million. Heather arrived shortly before Paul, keeping tight-lipped while McCartney managed a "Good morning" to the photographers gathered outside London's High Court. Monday was day one of a five-day, private hearing between the warring couple.
After five hours, Paul and Heather exited separately and I'm pretty sure that if Heather would have emerged sobbing, had she gone with her original plan to represent herself after firing her legal team in November. Instead, she hired a new attorney shortly before the court session to face the Paul's lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, who worked on the divorce case of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Heather has said in interviews that this divorce has caused her to contemplate suicide and that she's received numerous death threats as a result of the bad press she's received. Personally, if it had made my life to miserable, I think I would have given up on the $120 million and just cut my losses. But then again, I have a job.

OMG, are these two still divorcing?
Sarah says:
I don't know about anyone else, but if I'd been in an abusive marriage and supposedly abusive divorce battle, all I'd hope for was that the man (and any trace of him... like his money, for example) would disappear from my life completely. Believing that you deserve compensation for the crap your spouse made you put up with is nothing short of a gold digger. I hate that term, but damn does that shoe fit her.
Hmmmm says:
Sarah, I agree with your statement.
Heather is full of greed and she so blind she can not see it, but then again can greedy people see themselves for who they really are?
I hope the court decides in Pauls favor, he seems like the stable parent,I say that because of the comments she has made about suicide.
I wish the best to Paul.
Prick Up Your Ears says:
This vindictive cow refused Paul's initial divorce settlement offer because it included a non-disclosure agreement (GAG ORDER).
Bitch wants to write a book, exposing the entire McCartney family's private lives because she's a vengeful c*nt.
Green Is Good says:
Not bad haul for an lying, ex-hooker.
NO charity will ever touch her conniving, vindictive ass again. I hop she likes living in exile.
Sasha says:
He should giver her like 2 million tops and take custody of the kid
Michele says:
His kids hated her from the get go...hmmm, wonder why. If you looked up 'gold digger' in the dictionary, Heather's picture would be there.

So...why did he marry her without a pre nup?
Ei2g says:
I think the gagging order must be related to the shocking revelation from Sir Paul's team for a quicker settlement.
Chris says:
Well chit! How damn dumb of Paul not to sign a pre-nup! Heather is a blood sucking freak! I wish they would both just STFU and go away. And yes, I am a Beatles fan, but his stupidity is huge!

That's what an old ass man gets for marrying a young woman he should have never been with in the first place. His daughter knew what she was out to get from day one.
Clue to old men everywhere - Marry within your decade or stay single!
