Sounds like old Paul maintained a leg up in those proceedings.

LONDON (Reuters) - The judge in Paul McCartney's divorce settlement berated the former Beatle's estranged wife Heather Mills for giving "inconsistent and inaccurate" evidence, according to details of his ruling released on Tuesday.
Judge Hugh Bennett, who on Monday ordered McCartney to pay Mills 24.3 million pounds ($48.7 million), said she had conducted her own defence "with courteous, yet steely determination" after earlier sacking her own lawyers.
But in a judgment Mills never wanted to be aired in public, he concluded: "Overall she was a less than impressive witness."
In contrast, the judge praised McCartney for giving balanced evidence during the six-day hearing.
"He expressed himself moderately though at times with justifiable irritation, if not anger," Bennett said. "He was consistent, accurate and honest," the judge concluded.
McCartney, 65, married the former model and charity campaigner Mills, 40, in 2002, four years after his first wife Linda died of breast cancer.
But Mills and McCartney separated four years later, blaming media intrusion into their private lives.
They have a daughter, Beatrice, aged four.
The settlement was only a fifth of the sum she had sought but still gave her the equivalent of about $34,000 for each day of her four-year marriage to the pop icon.
Mills told reporters on Monday she was appealing against publication in full "because the judgment involves private secure matters of my daughter."
But on Tuesday she lost her legal bid to stop full publication of the judge's decision. The 58-page judgment was then released online at www.judiciary.gov.uk.
The judge said Mills enjoyed going on McCartney's concert tours "because she thoroughly enjoyed the media and public attention."
"But to suggest that in some way she was his 'business partner' is, I am sorry to have to say, make-belief," he added.
"I wholly reject her account that she rekindled the husband's professional fame (after his first wife's death) and gave him back his confidence."

I heard she wanted around 125 million pounds...
IMO she got 24 million too many
Manu

She feels hes worth 1.2 billion, but the judge feels hes worth 800 million.
She is a gold digging no question.

Guess McCartney's going to have to foot the bill for this one.
I think Shoogs happy no one got to that one before him.
haha she doesn't have a leg.
I did get a kick out of it.
Sounds like she got cut off at the knee.
I'm glad the judge didn't let her walk all over him.
That sort of divorce settlement is ridiculous. Make her stand on her own two feet.
She tried to put her foot down, but couldn't.
When she heard the judge's ruling, she was stumped.
That was a good one.
