What are my legal rights if my husband keeps opening my mail that is only addressed to me?

legal
philosophy-chick asked:


Nothing to hide but it is annoying especially when he puts my mail on piles of junk mail or newspapers and then I don’t find it for days or even weeks. It has not helped to ask him to stop. We have been married for 17 years and I am sick of this habit. I may or may not want to take legal action. I may just want him to know that I know what my rights are and what my options are if I choose to make him stop opening my mail.

    You can always say “Dear, please put my mail in a more accessible location.”

    your legal option is divorce
    it would seem if you ask things of him and he just ignores you then there may be other issues

    You could file a complaint with th post master general, but just getting a P O box and changing your mailing address would be a lot easier.
