Can I ask that my ex get his stuff off of my property?

I am divorced,and there is a no contact order against my ex for domestic assault. In the divorce agreement, it says we had already split our stuff satisfactorily and what was on the property was mine. However, he has stuff here that I want gone. Can I give him 30 days to get rid of it or do I need to wait for the PO to be dropped in about 5 months? And if he doesn’t get it, can I sell it?

You can't make him violate the no contact order, which means that if he is going to pick it up, you have to give until some reasonable time after that order is expired.
If it's not too bulky, you can ship it to him: have a friend or two help you pack it and keep a list of what is going, which they can sign, too; video the packing; and have it sent some way you can track and prove delivery.
