The answer

If you divorced your wife and did not take her back during her waiting period (iddah), and you did not stipulate that she waive any of her rights, then she is entitled to her full mahr (dowry), including the shabaka (engagement jewelry) and the list of movables.

However, if you divorced her with less than three pronouncements, then took her back during her waiting period, and now wish to divorce her again due to her disobedience, this is permissible on condition that she waives something from her rights, such as the mahr or part of it.

It is advisable to reconcile with your wife and strive to amend her conduct through legitimate means, if you have not divorced her three times. If that proves ineffective, then divorce is the last resort.
