Divorce/separation

ExH asking for property/money after the divorce

Hi hope someone can help with this?

Our divorce was finalised in April and our financial agreement (negotiated through mediation) has been through court and been 'stamped' by the judge.

Anyway ExH has starting complaining recently that he's been hard done by financially (luckily child maintenance is done direct through CSA otherwise I think he'd stop paying Hmm ). This week he's asked me for my wedding and engagement rings back, so he can sell them to get some money. I was under the impression that 1) gifts become the possessions of the receivers, 2) we sorted out the division of our individual/joint possessions/property in mediation, and 3) it was c lean break divorce so we have no further claim on each other's property past, present or future.

The rings aren't worth that much (maybe a couple of hundred of pounds each)...but ExH is insisting that as he still has the receipts they are his property. I'm reluctant to give them back to him because I think he's trying it on, and if I give in on this one he's likely to try again with something else. Any advice?

You've summed it up in point 3. That's the whole point of a clean break.

He's trying it on. They belong to you.

It's done and dusted. Tell him to fuck off. He has no further claim on your property. And yes, he's trying it on, but he's no longer your problem unless you allow him to be.

Tell him you're very sorry but you've already sold them to help you move on with your clean break divorce!
