Full divorce ruling revealed
McCartney's lawyers did not object to publication of the judgment, but Mills claimed details in the ruling could compromise the security of her fouryearold daughter, Beatrice.
"Miss Mills believes her daughter will be put in real danger. It is most disturbing," said lawyer David Rosen, who represented Mills in court. Mills did not attend the hearing.
She walked away from court with a settlement worth about $A40,000 for every day of her fouryear marriage to the former Beatle or about $1517 for each hour. But it was only a fifth of what she had sought and a fraction of the former Beatle's $860m fortune.
Mills, 40, declared that she was "very, very, very pleased" with the payout.
The settlement included a lump sum of $35m plus the assets Mills currently holds worth $16.8m,[url=http://www.sport.fr/business/louisvuitton.html]louis vuitton femmes[/url].
Some legal experts were surprised the former model, who has been widely portrayed in the British media as a golddigger, did not get more.
"In the scheme of things, it's quite surprisingly low," said Patricia Hollings, a divorce specialist with London law firm Finers Stephens Innocent. "It is only offering her about 6 percent of his assets. In terms of highwealth cases it's very low."
McCartney, 65, left after Monday's ruling without comment. But Mills emerged from the threehour private hearing for an impromptu news conference on the courthouse steps railing against McCartney's lawyer, accusing her ex of underestimating his wealth and declaring the settlement had secured her future and that of fouryearold Beatrice.
"All of you that have researched know that it was always going to be a figure between 20 and 30 million" pounds, said a visibly agitated Mills. "Paul was offering a lot less than that . So we're very, very, very pleased."
Mills criticized McCartney's attorney Fiona Shackleton, who is well known for representing Prince Charles in his divorce from Princess Diana.
"She has called me many, many names before even meeting me when I was in a wheelchair," said Mills, whose own legal team, in an ironic twist, was led by Princess Diana's divorce lawyer until she fired it in November.
Shackleton emerged from court Monday with a wet head, reportedly from a glass of water that Mills dumped on her. Mills told reporters that Shackleton had been "baptized in court." McCartney's spokespeople declined to comment.
McCartney also was ordered to pay $A75,000 a year for his daughter, and to pay for the child's nanny and school fees. Mills said that was a paltry amount. "She's obviously meant to travel B class while her father travels A class," she said.
The settlement does not rank with the most expensive celebrity divorces. ones. But Mills' jackpot is only about half of the biggest contested divorce settlement in British history the $ 110m that insurance tycoon John Charman was ordered to pay his exwife in 2006.
McCartney and Mills married at an Irish castle in June 2002, four years after the death from cancer of McCartney's first wife, Linda.
The music legend and the charity campaigner a former model whose left leg was amputated below the knee after a 1993 motorcycle accident were instant tabloid fodder.
Even as they wed, there were rumors that the former Beatle's adult children, who include the fashion designer Stella McCartney, disapproved of their new stepmother.
The couple insisted they were in love, and McCartney said they had not signed a prenuptial agreement.
Their daughter was born the following year, but there were soon reports of trouble in the union. Mills and McCartney separated in April 2006 and McCartney later filed for divorce, alleging "unreasonable behavior" by his wife.
