Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

Been divorced for almost 3 years now

Hi, my question is this: I am a male who has been divorced from my x-wife now going on 3 years in April 07. Upon divorcing her in April 04 after 24 yrs. of marriage, she has remarried (right after the divorce) and I just now remarried in Sept. 06. We both had two children who were both over 25 at the divorce, which was uncontested and both divided belongings without the courts help. I refinanced our house, paid her equity out of it, had the house put in my name, she signed all docs over releasing her name from the house as well. Now she is wanting to reopen the decree saying she still has rights to items that belong to her within the house and rights to receive more equity out of the house once I sell it. She insists that I also 'stole' jewelry from her (that I bought for her)during the marriage and now wants me to pay her for it, but all items and disputes were resolved in the decree in 4/04. Does she have a case to reopen or is this a case of jealousy and harassment? For the two years after the divorce I never heard a word from her, now that I have finally remarried, I get harrassing phone calls over the explained above matter continually. My decree stated uncontested and final 7/04, is it really final in this case?
