Wife sending post back to sender

macman

You seem to have your head in the sand. A year on, and you haven't had the post redirected yet?
Just get all your correspondence sent to work if that is more convenient, or to your mum-your ex doesn't have to know what it is.
If the credit card is in your sole name, you are fully liable for the debt, regardless of who spent on it. If it's in joint names, you are jointly and severally liable, so same result.
You cannot expect her to do anything else with your post if she has no address.

She would be "breaking the law" if she was opening mail addressed only to you - she's not "breaking the law" by returning post addressed to someone who no longer lives in that house- and hasn't done for at least a year.

Try focusing on the important stuff - sorting out arrangements for children, sorting out the finances and the divorce so that you can make arrangements for finding somewhere more permanent to live.

One day, you will back at this issue, and realise it is small beans in the grand scheme of all things divorce.

You may be allowed to use that as your address, but to be blunt in the circumstances you would be something less than wise. Feel free to translate something less than wise as you will, my translation is downright s****d.

That is without factoring in the bother you may be causing your employer, they will only tolerate a bothersome employee for a limited amount of time. You really don't want to be top of the list when redundancies come around.

Yes, hopefully she wont.

I'm not hiding from anyone, just trying to find out if she's breaking the law.

In this situation it's academic whether she's breaking the law or not. Because even if she is it's not something anyone is likely to do something about and in the short term even if you challenge her about it there is nothing you can do on a practical level to prevent her from carrying on.
If you want your post free from interference, and stopping her from
monitoring your finances, for your own protection get it redirected.

Only if she did it will malicious intent.

It's not "malicious intent", it is "reasonable excuse". see S84 of the Postal Services Act 2000.

"A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person’s detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him."

"intending to act to a person’s detriment" is malicious.

But is she legally allowed to return my post knowing that I still own the property?

Ok I'm out.

Presumably solely liable to the credit card company for the debts, however, I'd assume (happy to be corrected by others) debts as well as assets of a couple on divorcing should be taken into account so in effect wife is still impacted that route.
