Theoretically, your divorce decree is final and she cannot ask for more payment. However, practically the situation in the courts is very different, and any miracle can happen at any level in favour of any one.

@Rahil - you are lucky mate to get away with @5lakhs.... pun apart...After her marriage and a full and final settlement she is not entitled to get any thing from you Let her file a case .. you file a counter at all her costs.

No she cant get anything from you now. Next time she calls you, record the call and then file a case under 506, 383 and 385 IPC direclty as a complaint case in court.

Or else just keep quite and let her file it in court and then you can show the evidence that she was threatening you for money which is an extortion of money after Full n final settlement.
