Paul McCartney and Heather Mills had their chance, and now it is up to a judge to determine a divorce agreement and financial settlement for them, The Associated Press reported. As legal teams left the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Monday after no deal was reached between the parties, Mr. McCartneyâs lawyer, Nicholas Mostyn, said that Justice Hugh Bennett had reserved his ruling and would spend several weeks working out a settlement.

The couple, who separated in 2006 after four years of marriage, went to court to decide how much of Mr. McCartneyâs fortune, estimated to be as high as $1.6 billion, Ms. Mills would receive.
