Throwing away ex-spouse&#39;s mail
<p>Can a husband throw away his separated or divorced wife's mail?</p>

<p>You would need to change the address of the mail you are receiving, or get a Post Office box that your husband has no access to. Then file to have your mail forwarded to the new address. If you get a post office box, make sure that he has no access to it. If he is not living with you, file a complaint that he is stealing from your mail box. You can get a restraining order. If you are still living together, then he has legal access to the mail box.</p>

<p>The Postal carrier is required to put the mail in the box for the address to which it is being delivered. Once you have a different address or post office box, then they can deliver the mail to the new address.</p>

<p>The Postal carrier cannot prevent anyone from stealing from a box with no lock. They can protect a Post Office Box in the post office as that will have a lock and key.</p>

<p>Of course you should consult your divorce attorney.</p>
