Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

I have filed for divorce and my wife has already moved out over a month ago. Most of her belongings are still here including things that we had listed in the "community property" that will go to her. She has told me for 4 weeks in a row that she is coming to move the rest of her stuff but she never shows up. How long do I have to keep holding onto it?
