The divorce hearing between Paul McCartney and Heather Mills will continue a second week, after a judge allotted extra time for the couple’s court case. The hearing had been scheduled to end, but officials at London’s Royal Courts of Justice said the case before Justice Hugh Bennett would continue into next week. Mills and McCartney separated in 2006 after four years of marriage and have since traded blows in the media while trying, and failing, to agree on divorce terms. The hearing was called to decide on Mills’ share of the former Beatle’s fortune, estimated at as much as $1.6 billion. Media reports suggest that McCartney has offered Mills about $50 million and that she is seeking at least double that amount. The couple have been in court every day this week, but few details have emerged. Divorce proceedings are heard in private, and the courtroom is closed to journalists and the public. McCartney has hired lawyer Fiona Shackleton, and Mills, who fired her legal team late last year, is representing herself. After the hearing ends, Bennett is expected to take several weeks to consider his settlement. The terms will not become public unless it is challenged in the Court of Appeal, or either of the parties chooses to reveal details. The couple married in June 2002, and their daughter was born in October the following year. They announced their separation in 2006, and McCartney filed for divorce alleging “unreasonable behavior” by his wife.
