Paul McCartney and Heather Mills officially divorced yesterday after High Court judge Mr Justice Bennett pronounced their marriage "decree nisi" (that's "completely and utterly over" in layman's terms) on the grounds that they had been separated for two years.
Neither McCartney nor Mills were in court to hear the ruling, and neither legal team made any official comment. This ruling now allows Mills to receive the £23.4 million settlement she was awarded in March.
