Paul McCartney & Heather Mills begin preliminary divorce hearings

Paul McCartney and estranged wife Heather Mills wrapped up their second and final day of preliminary testimony in their divorce proceedings yesterday (Thursday, March 1st) in London's High Court. The Associated Press reported that, according to British law, no media was allowed in the courtroom. The case, which is being heard in London's High Court Family Division, has been listed as case number "FD06D03721." Neither McCartney nor Mills was asked to give testimony during the proceedings.

Macca exited the building, whistling and snapping his fingers, yet did not issue a statement to reporters. Mills left the courthouse about 30 minutes later through a back entrance.

There have been varying reports about the couple trying to come to a financial settlement, with the $50 million number being the most widely reported. McCartney and Mills, who were married in 2002, currently share custody of their three-year old daughter Beatrice.
