Paul is right divorce is like going through hell. I too have been through this. Re-married too quickly (in my case after foirst divorce) and have been taken the cleaners by second wife - only a short marriage. What's the solution ?

1. Open up the courts - they are closed at the moment and hence not held accountable.
2. Make it like Scotland - what you bring in is what you take out. It may be that you have to wait until kids are grown up but hey that's normally OK.
3. In todays society all women can support themselves the concept that women cannot or should not work is flawed. Yes the kids need a Mum but when they are at school there are at least 5-6 hours a day they can work
when they are small. More if the kids do afterschool activites.

Never marry too quickly ! Paul is handling this very well IMHO. Well done and a example that others should follow.

This is about money. Heather targeted him, Best to set the money to fit the amount of time they were together.

Typical of the moeny grabbing women we breed in Europe. Never get married or involved , especially to this female,put her back in the gutter were she belongs

gary neale, coventry,

Jayne of Worcester, you are a disgrace to your sex! It is exactly your kind of hard-faced cynical attitude that gives rise to the supposition that women only marry rich men for their money. I feel sorry for you. I hope you learn to be more positive about life.

i think he wed far to early , his first wife had not been long dead from breast cancer. as breast cancer patient iwould hate to think my husband married straight away if i had died. and at the time i was going through cancer the same time as linda. i had said this was far to an early wedding. she a gold digger by the looks

Surely there should be some sort of law whereby a settlement should be based on the length of the relationship and what contribution both parties have made? I don't just mean monetary contributions.. This may lead us to believe the settlement in this case should be moderate.

pilgrim, derby,

Once again the state are encouraging women to look upon men as a paid for life pension. There is an odd parralel here the PM gets a pension for life, that starts when he leaves, once he has taken the job even if he remains in it for an hour. A woman gets an immediate pension for life once she sleeps with her husband and gets pregnant, again she only has to do it once.
Government want stronger families? stop encouraging the madness that is marriage and start discouraging kids for cash

Takes two to tango. This is never one sided.

KENNETH FOSTER, coleshill, warwks. uk

The words gold digger and bunny boiler spring to mind here. I think she was after the money and child from the start. Why the courts give this type of woman house room is beyond me, she gives decentl women a bad name. But some comfort is that no man in his right mind will touch her next time. She didn't have a huge lifestyle before and why she needs to live the 50million lifestyle after is beyond me.

That'why, in vedic culture, boys and girls are not allowed to intermingle before marriage. At the beginning of youth, any person satisfys some one sexually for the first time, he or she feels very much attached to each him or her. That feeling, if not spoiled by mixing with any other person sexually, then this love and trust and feelings become very strong and it can last long. On the other hand at the early youth if they are allowed to mix with any person, then they do not feel there is any thing special with his or her married partner. Problem is from the beginning. There is no point in pouring water on top of the tree, if the root is spoiled. These things are needed to be thoght about very deeply. We are not animals, we have got societ, we have to bring up our children, educate them etc. If the parents break up, that becomes very difficult for the children as well. They do not find a role model to follow

Heather Mills should not get a penny, Paul was just a mark to her, and having a child, just a ploy to gain a meal ticket for life.
The courts should not encourage this sort of thing as it only leads others to try it on as well.
She will have no difficulty selling her 'story' to the tabloids, but then, no other wealthy man would touch her with a barge pole.
It's all very sad when men marry for love, and women marry for money.

GOLDEN RULE : if you are male and have wealth DONT MARRY ! As a general rule women cannot be trusted and in the long run and will tend to take you for all they can get ! BE WARNED !
