A:
In Montana, the specific timeframe for your ex to collect the awarded property may depend on various factors, including the terms outlined in your divorce decree or settlement agreement. These documents typically specify a deadline or a timeframe within which your ex must collect their awarded property.
If you have already provided a 30-day notice to your ex regarding the property, that's a good step to ensure clear communication. It's essential to keep documentation of your communication, such as the text messages you mentioned, as evidence of your efforts to inform your ex about the property and the timeframe they have to collect it.
