Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills have reportedly come to an agreement on their divorce settlement.

According to the Evening Standard, McCartney will have to pay Mills £25 million. The total is roughly £4 million for each year they were married.

Legal costs on the long-running court battle are expected to total £10 million.

A source commented: "The judgment has been made. The parties involved received their copies this week.

"On an analysis of the case law Mills was always going to receive around £25 million. I think it's fair to say the judge has not erred from that.

"The judgment is very thorough. He has gone into every detail to make sure neither party can have grounds for appeal. It's fair to say the judgment is very long."
