The estranged wife of pop legend Paul McCartney is to receive 25 million pounds in a hard-fought and long-awaited divorce deal, a newspaper reported Friday.
The judge who presided over a final round of talks last month between McCartney and Heather Mills has sent details of his proposed ruling to both sides, and they have raised no major objections, the Evening Standard reported.
The official verdict will be handed down on Monday, said the paper, citing a source close to the case which has dragged on for two years. “The judgement has been made,†he said.
“The parties involved received their copies this week. On an analysis of the case law Mills was always going to receive around 25 million pounds. It’s fair to say the judge has not erred from that.â€
The musician married Mills in 2002, four years after his first wife, Linda, died from breast cancer. They announced an “amicable†split in May 2006, but their dealings since have been anything but friendly.
McCartney, 65, and Mills, 40, have been in discussions ever since to decide how much former model turned charity campaigner Mills would receive from his estimated 825-million-pound fortune.
