Hello,
I live in New York, unfortunately, I'm going through a divorce, we hired a divorce mediator/arbitrator.
After a second party (an actual lawyer) filed our paperwork with the court, the mediator indicated we needed an amendment, something about clarifying some of the legal verbiage necessitated this.
So, the mediator mailed us the amendment and a note saying "please return this and retain your copy". The problem is, along with the note and original wasn't a copy of our amendment, but rather, a different persons amendment. I can only assume she mailed my info to this other party... The amendment contained identifying info including my (and my soon to be Xwife's) name, address, and social security number.
What should I do? Destroy the other couples amendment? What if the other person or someone uses my info to steal my identity... other than being concerned, is there anything I should be doing? I feel like the mediator is borderline criminally negligent.
