Hi

My divorce was finalised a few months ago and now my ex-wife says she
would
like some of her things which she left behind - she didn't specify what
exactly she was after. We didn't part on good terms (due to her
behaviour)
and I said that she can't have anything, since she had plenty of time to
take anything she wanted before she'd moved out and since she didn't ask
for
anything after she'd moved out.

She is now talking of contacting her lawyer in order to gain access to
those
things. Since we are legally divorced, is she entitled to do so?

Thank you for any help.


Yes.

She is also entitled to report you to the police for theft if you refuse
to hand over everything that is hers, and a jury would be entitled to
convict you.

Are you serious?

Without an order what determines who owns what? I thought for married
couples or divorced ones without a financial settlement order it was a
grey
subject in that either party can have a claim, or part claim, on any
asset.

*After* the divorce is final? I thought claims for property had to be
sorted out before the final divorce settlement.
