She gets HALF!!?!
I just heard a story on the radio, where Paul McCartney and his new wife (of four years) are going to get a trial separation. A part of the story was that if they end up getting a divorce, his wife will get anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 of his net worth.
How and why? Paul McCartney earned all of his money a very long time ago. Yes, he continues to get royalties and all that fun stuff, but, man. It's not like he spent all his time as a married man earning that income, while this woman was keeping their househould held together. I mean, he had any multitude of household servants cleaning their house, mowing their lawn, etc. Why exactly does she get anything more than [censored]? |

I haven't seen RAW so I don't get the reference. I'm guessing it's a "must rent"?

Re: She gets HALF!!?!
Theres a joke doing the rounds about that that ends with she doesnt have a leg to stand on.
She offered to sign a prenup to protect his money but his disagreed. There is also a case going through the courts at the moment that is similar a guy made his money before the marrige so is trying for a reduced settlement. This will change the case law so Mccartney would possibley be able to go down that route, although there is a child involved so that complicates things as well. I suspect they will have an amicable divorce with a settlement that doesnt involve going to the courts or 50% of his worth, although she is meant to be a bit of a hard headed bitch so who knows. |

I'm sure Sir Paul's lifestyle will not change a bit, even after he loses half his assets. Betcha he doesn't lay off a single butler.

[/ QUOTE ] I heard the same (i.e., he refused to sign a pre-nup). OMG, if this is the case, please remind me to never marry, because, honestly, what other case does she have? I mean, the work that earned him his money is 40 years past, she married him four years ago, and now she gets X percent of what he did all those years ago? |
