Heather Mills 'may return to court for new Paul McCartney fight'

Heather Mills wants secret documents exposing Sir Paul McCartney's alleged behaviour during their marriage published and may return to court to make it happen, her lawyer has said.
In an interview with the Evening Standard, David Rosen said Miss Mills wants to put the record straight over claims that she is a gold-digger who was only interested in the former Beatle's £400 million fortune.
Heather Mills was described by Mr Justice Bennett as ‘her own worst enemy’
He said his client is also frustrated that the full judgment of the couple's divorce case - in which the judge accused her of "make belief", inconsistency and inaccuracy - was published while the full court transcripts were held back.
Mr Justice Bennett said she was a "less than impressive witness" during the six-day hearing last month who "wholly exaggerated" the extent of her wealth before she met her now ex-husband.
Miss Mills is now considering launching a new legal battle to have all the details made public, which she believes will allow people to make up their own minds, Mr Rosen said.
Last weeks, friends of the former model said she had hired a new team of forensic accountants to try to prove that her ex-husband Paul McCartney is worth double the £400 million he claimed in their divorce struggle.
According to leaked press reports during the lengthy divorce battle, Miss Mills had accused Sir Paul of being violent towards her, but Mr Justice Bennett said he did not take this allegation into account when he released his judgment, which awarded her £24.3 million.
At the time the allegations were made, Sir Paul said he would be "defending these allegations vigorously and appropriately" in the divorce hearing.
Mr Rosen said: "The conduct was not relevant and didn't factor in the judgment. But that doesn't mean to say it is not relevant at all to her and what people may think of her.
"She just wants the public to have the full facts of the case. She wants people to know that she was a good mother and a good wife."
In the interview, Mr Rosen also claimed that Miss Mills was prepared to take only £20m, but that Sir Paul refused to settle out-of-court.
He also claimed his client had offered to sign a pre-nuptial agreement, but Sir Paul had not been keen, and that she was now living in fear of "wackos" after the details of her private life were revealed.
Poor thing. She is probably still irritated from the chafing on her stump that occured during Dancing With The Stars.
Expecting Paul to give an arm AND a leg.

Consider the record straightened.
Nice work, Paul. You managed to marry a woman who makes Yoko Ono look like Melanie Wilkes.
She seems to be seeking defamation more than anything else.
I don’t think the court should allow her to destroy McCarney’s image.
She has gotten a lot of money, more than anyone needs to live on for the rest of their life.
The court needs to step in and shut this ass up.
She got the money she wanted. She got the divorce she wanted. End of fricken storry.
Why should she quit while she’s ahead? She’s a shameless golddigger with a pot-full-of-gold in hand... and no risk of losing that. When you’re a shameless b*, why not go for more?
Just...ARRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Paul has Loco Uno.
This case continues to have legs
Yeah. But I don't think she has a leg to stand on.
Well, it’s a safe bet Paul won’t EVER think about getting married again. I wouldn’t!
LOL! post of the day!
She should get a job waiting tables at IHOP.
You can't get a judge to over turn public perception of the obvious!
Not without a prenup anyway!
She looks like the Bride of McManiac in this picture.
Amazing how this woman managed to squander the public sympathy that comes from being an amputee.
