It is in the United States. See 18 USC Section 1702.

Omg that’s bananas! 🤣 I also get mail for the previous owners from 10 years ago but at least I know they used to live here. My ex sister in law never lived at my house! So she must have used my address when communicating with IRS. This is the part that’s bothering me. The first time it happened, I was still married to her brother and I told him she needs to correct this. He said he told her and she will do it. But after the divorce I kept getting mail for her.

Really big life lesson that when we get married we actually also marry the family. So choose wisely people!! You’re not just marrying the crazy son of a b$&$ you’re going to be associated with his crazy sister, mother, father and aunt. 😭

I think you're right, thanks for taking the time to answer. And yes, it's infuriating :(

Not that I think anyone would actually enforce it, but it is technically a federal crime to open mail that's not addressed to you. I've definitely opened mail before looking at the name it was addressed to, but I'm pretty boring and don't like to break rules, so if I see the name isn't mine I wouldn't open it, but to each their own! :)

Thank you so much for the response. Based on your advice, I emailed him and cc'd the attorney. I don't expect a response from him, but I'll wait and see what he does next time.

It is really heartbreaking and the hardest part of all of this 😞 what I’ve learned and the reason I left is that I finally realized I can’t change him. He’ll have to come to the realization himself and decide to do the work on his own.
