My brother is getting a divorce in Alabama.
I'll call him Joe and her "Insane Woman", hehe.

"Insane Woman" left around Christmas. She picked up her stuff in January.

Joe got a letter (via Certified Mail) recently (July) asking him to bring items to a storage facility on a certain date.

First question: Does he legally have to give her anything? Or even show up?

In the letter, "Insane Woman" claims the items are worth what they cost brand new (which they definitely aren't). Most of the items were sitting outside the day she moved her stuff, and the other items are essentially junk (cheap toys, broken vacuum, etc.).

She also claims to have items of his, but he isn't missing anything other than a 10 year old t-shirt. She claims to have items of his that he never owned, so he doesn't care about going at all. She claims the items have been in a storage facility since January, at about $70/month. We're talking about items that would fit in a average size box. More than likely, she has her furniture stored there and it trying to get my brother to pay for it.

Basically it appears that "Insane Woman" just wants to get money out of my brother (who is on disability). If I remember right, she didn't actually ask for the vacuum in the letter, she asked to be reimbursed over $100 for it. Counting the storage facility, she expects my brother to come up with over $800.

This all started when "Insane Woman" accused Joe of criminal activity and filed false charges against him. The only thing he wants is his reputation back. Should he propose that if she'll sign a letter that exonerates him, then he'll give her stuff back?

Thanks in advance.
