AbsoluteSucker Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 My ex had some important legal docs accidentally sent to my house. I have to contact her, get her address and send them to her, right? We have no mutual friends, she lives in another city and there is no other way I can get them to her. Do I have any other choice besides being an immature a**hole and shredding them?
Kansas Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I would send them back to the law office that they came from. Not your problem anymore. And if they are SO important then she should be on top of things to make sure that her lawyer is aware of her mailing address.
TheThinker Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 do you have her address or can you look it up ?? maybe you could forward them on ... or failing that you send them "return to sender" and let everything fall into place without you having to sort everything out
Eeyore79 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 If you forward these documents, you will end up forwarding stuff for ever more. Your best course of action is to contact the law office in question and explain that Ms. Ex's-Name no longer lives at your address, and you would appreciate it if they could correct their records. By all means pass on her phone number or email address if they don't have it, but let them contact her.
TheThinker Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Thats fair advice - When i said forward them on i meant anonymously, just put them in a new envelope or whatever with the correct address and send it on Although sending them back or contacting the office that sent them would equally be just as easy - Have you opened them ??
Eeyore79 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Yeah, but if he forwards the documents, the ex's address won't get changed at the law office, so they'll send more documents which he also had to forward... and so on for ever more. He needs to contact the law office to ensure that he doesn't receive any more documents.
Author AbsoluteSucker Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I'm not trying to be coy, but sending them back to the offices isn't really an option and is just going to be more trouble then it's worth. These are my options, feel free to vote, and the winning vote is what I will do: a.) Scan and email them to her b.) Text and ask for address c.) Shred them and if she finds out I received them deny, deny deny d.) Other, suggestions???? Edited January 20, 2011 by AbsoluteSucker

C then as I agree they can't be that important if she hasn't given her new address!
WTRanger Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 You may want to look up the felonies you will be charged with if you take option C, shredding them. Because if they are important legal documents, and she gets into a bind because she doesn't have them. Guess who they are going to look at? Won't you feel like a complete dickwad sitting next to rapists and murders and all you've got is mail tampering charges. Just ask for a damn address, keep it to that, send them, then get on with your life. Jesus, stop playing dumbass games. Time to be an adult.
YellowShark Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Write: "Return to sender... moved" on the envelopes. Drop in mailbox. Problem solved. (no charge for the advice.)
