Q: How do i get my mail? Or can i press charges against her for keeping my mail.
I moved out of a house my ex and I owned together. She's still there. Changed the locks. She filed some kind civil suit against me after i moved out. The house is now for sale. Atleast 1 check and possibly my state income taxes were mail to that house and in my name only.
A: I suggest you call the post office and give them a forwarding address for your mail in the future. As far as your personal mail in her possession, she cannot keep something that belongs to you. If you have reason to believe she is keeping your personal items, you can call the local law enforcement agency to escort you to the property to retrieve your belongings. You could also file a criminal complaint with your local law enforcement agency if you believe you are the victim of a crime. It would be at their discretion whether or not to formally charge her or not.
A: Do a change of address online with USPS. Send cert mail or fax to anyone that you think sent you important mail, that you have moved.
