It is a conceivable grey area created by a combination of Federal and State law. State law is where the local police are situated and the postal regulations are under Federal law. Postal regulations stipulate that mail is to be delivered only to the person whose name is on the address UNLESS there is previously designated authority for some other person to receive the mail. This previous designated authority, under state law, might be the marriage license.
However, if the complaining party were to complain to the appropriate jurisdiction, and there is appropriate statutory law and enough convincing evidence of a wrong, then something might get done.

We all know how helpful they can be. They told her it was legal for him to recieve and open her mail and cash any checks in her name because they are married still. Any thoughts?
