Sir Paul McCartney has been forced to freeze his joint bank account with his estranged wife after it was discovered that Heather Mills had been withdrawing ‘obscene’ amounts of cash.
Macca began divorce proceedings against Mills after she refused a £30million cash settlement; it is thought that she is after a much larger sum from the former Beatle.
A source told The Sun: “Sir Paul was disgusted by the amounts of money Heather had been withdrawing.
“It seems she is determined to spend money while she has a chance before the divorce goes through.”
“Sir Paul has been concerned that Heather is spending his money for the sake of it.”
Macca has also changed the locks on his London mansion to ensure Mills cannot gain access after she took possessions from the house.
A friend of the couple’s added: “Their split has degenerated into a vicious feud of petty point scoring.
“They used to love each other to bits. Now there is only hate. Heather absolutely loves the Peamarsh Lodge but will only stay there when Paul is not on the estate.”
Hopefully their two year old daughter, Beatrice will emerge for this battle unscathed.
Lady Heather Mills McCartney is set to lose her title when she divorces Sir Paul McCartney.
The animal rights activist received the prestigious title after marrying the former Beatle – who was knighted for his achievements in music in 1997.
In accordance with British law, Heather, 38, would still be allowed to use the title if she keeps her husband’s surname.
However, if the former model reverts back to her maiden name after the divorce she will not be eligible to carry on calling herself Lady Heather.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “When a Sir gets divorced his wife is allowed to use the title Lady but only if it is in the middle of her name.
“But if she reverts back to her maiden name, or remarries, then she will not be allowed to use Lady at all.”
Heather inherited the title of Lady McCartney from Paul’s late first wife, Linda, who died from cancer in 1998.
Mccartney Hints At Expensive Settlement…. Sir Paul McCartney has hinted that his divorce with estranged wife Heather Mills could involve a huge settlement of up to $250 million (£138.8 million).
British newspaper editor Piers Morgan, who originally introduced the pair in 1999, revealed that the former Beatle had joked with him on the phone about the results of his matchmaking.
Speaking to Us Tv presenter Jay Leno, Morgan says, “He rang me and says, ‘Cheers pal you just cost me a quarter-of-a-billion dollars.’ “I said, ‘Anytime, Paul.’” Meanwhile Heather Mills has moved into a $1 million (£550,000) converted barn following her split from SIR Paul McCartney – just 15 minutes from her estranged husband’s estate in East Sussex, England.
The animal rights activist snapped up the five-bedroom property in May nine days after their break-up was announced.
But she could only move in on Wednesday (02Aug06) as the residence was being revamped by builders.
