Paul McCartney can be seen here arriving at court early this morning, ready to face his ex lover Heather Mills from across the court room. As The Beatles star arrived with his fierce legal team he refrained from facing the awaiting media and hid behind one of London free newspapers. The judge has been booked for a week, in what is expected to be one of the most expensive court settlements in Britain's history. Currently, the largest divorce settlement stands at £45 million. Heather McCartney has taken the unusual step to act for herself in the high court this week. Many have speculated this could be due to her already existing debts to her former lawyers - a rumored sum of £1.5 million. It's believed Heather will be asking for money to cover her travel costs, standing of living, cut of earnings (for helping the Beatle with his career after the death of his wife Linda McCartney). As 50 photographers waited for the duo, a reporter revealed, "McCartney was driven to a side entrance when he arrived. All the photographers charged up to the railings of the gate and climbed up on ladders to take whatever pictures they could." Paul McCartney then warmly offered a 'good morning' to the press. Paul is worth £180 million pounds, and Heather has been asked to leave her emotions at the door. She must present her claims via the law, if she has any chance of claiming some of Paul's wealth.
