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?

If they are her possessions, then yes.

You can't just keep them because she didn't ask for them back earlier.

Morally, perhaps not, if she indeed deserves a fair treatment. What I need
to know is where I stand legally.

Presumably she knows what these items are? Ask her to write them down
before hand, so she doesn't turn up and start laying claim to anything
that takes her fancy. Also, presumably you too know what is hers (though
I think I may have read where you said you weren't sure?) so box them up
in readiness. Assuming her list matches what is in the box neither of
you need even have contact with each other - someone else, a mutual
friend perhaps, could call and collect them. The alternative, and I've
heard of this happening, is that the police turn up either with the ex
or pretty soon afterwards when all hell breaks loose...
