Paul McCartney and his estranged wife Heather Mills have been banned from discussing their divorce proceedings with the media, after a judge slapped them with a gag order. The former couple began the battle over their financial settlement in court on Monday. Heather is said to be representing herself in her fight for her share of his $1.6 billion fortune.
The judge imposed the court order at the beginning of the hearing to prevent details of their divorce settlement from being leaked to the media.
A court source says, “The judge made it clear at the start of proceedings that the hearing was being held in private and that all evidence should remain strictly confidential. All parties were warned about leaking information. Anyone caught revealing confidential details of the court hearing, set to last five days, is likely to be found in contempt of court and fined.”
