My divorce will be final on July 31st. My ex and I agreed on all the property (furniture in the house) through a marital agreement back in January.

Now he is calling me and telling me he wants this item or that item (items that were not listed in the agreement). Such as Christmas Ornaments, etc...(things that are special to me...things that my mom gave me over the years, or things I had bought). I told him no, but he says he "will" get them. (Not sure if that is a threat?? Meaning he'll break in and get them??). Does anyone have experience with items that were NOT listed in the marital agreement. Who gets them? Will he have to go to court to try to get them, and will he possibly win? He is such a jerk.......he just likes to argue with me.........

Thanks in advance,

Shannon

My final agreement had wording that said something like once the agreement was finalized I have sole possession of everything in the house except those items that we listed on a separate sheet and were called exhibit A (or something like that). My ex and I had agreed together on the things he would take. However, I still find things here and there that are his so I give them to him when I find them, regardless of what the agreement says. He has also thought of a few things that we forget to list that I have been fine with giving him as well. If you do have a problem with giving him those things that you should be okay as long as you have similar wording. However, if the agreement hasn't been finalized yet, he always has the option of wanting to argue for a change to the list. Depending on how important those items are to you it may or may not be worth the additional time and expense of arguing over them
