If it's something illegal (he's on heroin! likes kiddie porn! killed a man!) : she didn't tell the police as soon as she found out, so she's an accessory to (x) and shouldn't get any money.

they haven't reached a settlement and the judge will do it solomon-style.
Cash, however, is not thought to be the principal sticking point. Mills is reportedly eager to avoid a gagging clause, which would prevent her writing a book about her marriage — something her former husband emphatically does not want.

LADY Heather McCartney posed in depraved pornographic clinches which are bound to sicken her estranged husband Sir Paul and his army of fans.
The ex-model was snapped in a string of lurid scenes for a hard core German book.
Many of the images are too explicit to print in a family newspaper.
One shot shows Heather naked and smothered in baby oil as she performs a sex act on a nude male porn star. The curly-haired man is then photographed performing an act on her with the help of a sex toy.
In other shots Heather appears to act out bondage scenes with whips, handcuffs and edible underwear.
Dressed in red stockings, suspenders and a corset — and with long red-painted nails — she looks like the madam of a sleazy brothel.
She is also seen smearing herself and the male co-star with whipped cream and baby oil. In some snaps her nipples are covered with lipstick.
In other scenes, Heather and the man appear to have sex and perform sex acts while watching themselves in a mirror. And in yet more, Heather ends up naked during a game of strip poker.
The porn shoot was published in 1988 — five years before the blonde became famous after losing her leg when hit by a police motorbike.
Now 38 and mum to Sir Paul’s two-year-old Beatrice, she stopped at very little when she took part in the revolting snaps for Die Freuden Der Liebe — The Joys Of Love.

Didn't McCartney get his older family a semblance of normality by spiriting them off to the back end of beyond (The Mull of Kintyre or wherever) so that they could have a chance to be isolated from the madness?
I don't see Mills embracing that lifestyle.
― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 18 March 2008 10:46 (seventeen years ago)

Also this...
7. The lump sum of £16.5m is made up of a sum of £14m as the capitalised figure for the wife’s income needs, which the judge assessed at £600,000 p.a., and a sum of £2.5m for the wife to buy a property in London.
Is the judge only expecting her to live another 23 years?

9. The court made an order in the following terms: Save for the release of the judgment and Order dated 17 March 2008 the Wife and the Husband and any persons acting on their behalves are strictly prohibited from publishing, disclosing, or in any way revealing without the consent of the other, the evidence, correspondence, transcripts, judgments or Orders in the proceedings concerning (a) the child of the family (b) the main suit (c) the cross- applications for ancillary relief, and (d) any marital confidences. If consent is not forthcoming then the party seeking publication shall be entitled to seek the permission of a Family Division Judge to do so.

Perhaps we throwing such vile into our condemnation of the petty foibles of the wealthy to distract ourselves from the awfulness of the state of the rest of the world. We already have threads about the economy rolling into the shitbin, the crisis in Tibet, etc. etc. - for crying out loud, I hate celebrities with the rest of them, but I'm feeling tense and a bit scared and this is an easy target.

A story I never tire of telling: Paul, Linda & the kids sat on the same row as me at the Phoenix cinema in Wallasey to see Dumbo in the early '70s (my brother insists it was Bedknobs and Broomsticks). I think they were living in North Wales back then. I gave Stella all my sweets.

Here's the whole thing. It's a bit dry, but there are few good quotes. I liked:
"If the wife feels aggrieved about what I propose she only has herself to blame. If, as she has done, a litigant flagrantly over-eggs the pudding and thus deprives the court of any sensible assistance, then he or she is likely to find that the court takes a robust view and drastically prunes the proposed budget." Still, think of what she saved in lawyers' fees.

This bit is kind of brilliant:
All business expenses 682,425
The “business” expenses generated, so far as I can see, no income other than the £110,000 fee for Dancing with the Stars. Within the business expenses is £427,590 paid as salaries and fees to various people including Fiona Mills and the wife’s personal trainer.
His use of quotes around "business" imply (as I also would) that a business that requires you to spend 600% of your return can't really be called a business.

That judgment would be devastating to anyone who had any capacity for shame. May she never gain that degree of wisdom - she's great value at the moment, Paul's paying for it, and making her even slightly self-conscious would just ruin our fun. I'm hoping she comes out with a line-by-line rebuttal of it all tomorrow.

People don't always behave in rational ways during breakups. Although she does herself no favours, I do kind of feel sorry for her.
She may be living in a fantasy world, but then again, it's not like Sir Paul is particularly in touch with reality, either.
