Heather Mills has reportedly given Sir Paul McCartney until Friday to settle their divorce or face a messy public court battle.
And, by settle, she means the former Beatle must hand over $100 million.
"Heather has demanded that her lawyers contact Paul's legal team to say they have a deadline of Friday," a source tells The Daily Mail.
"If they do not come back saying we're in general agreement to the settlement as thrashed out in court last week by then, she will give the green light to slug it out very publicly in court."
The estranged couple failed to reach an agreement during a closed hearing in front of a High Court judge at a Financial Dispute Resolution in London last Thursday.
A friend said: "Heather has been putting the word out - saying very specifically that it is not in Paul's best interest to go to court by reminding him of the cards she is holding.
"She has started making worrying noises about the custody of Beatrice, suggesting she might perhaps take her to America for long periods of time.
"She has been saying that if they go to court, the judge will not pay any interest to what she calls "the catalogue of lies" that have been said about her in the Press.
"She is saying that if this goes to court, she will get awarded more money, that it will be worst for Beatrice to have her parents publicly warring."
