"We Can't Work It Out", "Hard Day's Fight" and "With Legal Help from my Friends" are just a few examples.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The couple were married in 2002 but things [b]turned sour[/b] and they announced their [b]separation[/b] in 2006. They have one daughter, Beatrice, who is now four years old.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The divorce [b]case[/b] is high profile firstly because Sir Paul McCartney has[b]amassed[/b] a very large [b]fortune[/b], [b]a proportion[/b] of which Heather Mills will [b]be entitled to[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]Secondly, ever since the couple separated, there have been [b]countless[/b]stories in the newspapers, stating why the relationship didn't [b]work out[/b]. A lot of the things that have been said about, and by, Heather Mills have made her rather unpopular in the UK.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Heather Mills famously did an interview on a British breakfast news programme last year, saying that she had been "close to [b]suicide[/b]" because of the way she has been treated by the press in Britain. She compared herself to Princess Diana for the way she has been [b]vilified[/b] in the press.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The [b]court[/b] case however has been taking place [b]behind closed doors[/b] so very few people know the exact details of what is going on.[/p][p=21, 2, left]There has been some [b]speculation[/b] that Heather Mills could receive up to ￡60 million (900 million RMB) of Sir Paul's [b]multi-million[/b] fortune. If she does, that would make it the biggest [b]divorce settlement[/b] in a British court.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Ms. Mills has also famously [b]parted company[/b] with the lawyers representing her in the divorce. She has been representing herself throughout the case.[/p][p=21, 2, left]However, after more than a week in court [b]battling out[/b] a settlement, the couple have failed to reach any agreement. It is now up to a judge to decide on the settlement at a later date.[/p][/size][/font][/color]
