Does my ex husband have rights to household items within the house he sold to me during our divorce 6 months after the sale?

After purchasing my exhusbands half of the marital home, with the deed and mortgage now being solely in my name, does he have any rights to the contents that remained in the home? Tools, washing machine, entertainment center, etc.

The answer to that question depends on what it says in your divorce judgment or separation agreement. I suggest your read it again to find the section that deals with these items or personal property in general.

I agree. This should have been taken into consideration as part of the separation agreement. I agree that the agreement should be reviewed by an attorney to see if there are any references to this issue. If there are no references, the items may well belong to you.

His rights to the personal property inside the home would be determined by the language of the divorce agreement.
