Can one parent secret child's mails from the other parent?

[SFVictim]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

All are living together. Those mails were addressed to the child, but the concealing parent secrets those mails from the other parent, who is supposed to be responsible for documents in those mails.

Why would one parent be more responsible than another??

If I read my son's emails there is no law that says I have to show my wife's.

Perhaps you might care to expand on this?

For instance, Dad filled out some forms to enroll the child in some special program as required by law. In the mails addressed to the child are confirmation of the enrollment, further instructions and other legal documents. The Mom took the mail. Dad therefore could not fulfill his obligation of enrolling the child.

Sounds like the parents need to work on their communication skills.

Or, is this a situation where the parents are divorced or never married and squabbling over the kids, money, or something else?

I don't see any obvious crime broken, but a suggestion would be for dad to have these applications and the like sent to HIS e-mail address in the future and not to the child's. And he should make sure to secure his email and password so that the child's mother cannot access it.

Your dad can just contact them again & have them re-send it..

"required by law" & "legal documents" being transmitted by an unsecured method ... tsk tsk tsk

If it was your email acct your mom can do that; but not your dad's email acct.

Even if it was the dad's, just have him get the email re-sent ... easier, faster, less hassle

They are living together. Those are USPS mails, not emails.

Wow, I forgot that existed lol.

You cannot open other people's mail; proving it is hard. But your dad can, once again, request the information again.

He can go to a fedex facility and get a private PO box if he wishes .. it's different than a PO PO box in that it is delivered to a street address as opposed to a PO box so nobody really knows its a PO box (unless they know that the address is a fedex facility).

Again, mom and dad need to learn to communicate. The cops are not going to get involved in this unless we are talking about a theft of something with real value.

Unless you are willing to expand on your situation, please do not waste our time.

As you "question" is "worded" NO ONE CAN ADVISE.

Sorry.

Some of them are some legal immigration documents from U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Dad is required to report the child's immigration status to authorized organization. The Mom's actions are obviously to damage the Dad, thought not physically, and might jeopardize the child's immigration status as consequences.

 

[CdwJava]

I ask again, do mom and dad live in the same home? If so, why are they still together if they are at odds?

Why are immigration documents coming addressed to the minor child? How old is the child?

This sounds as if it is a dysfunctional relationship. If mom and dad cannot get on the same sheet of music, the parent who believes they are losing their mail to the other parent should get a PO box.

Yes, all are living together.

Dad submitted Change of Status (of immigration) on behalf of the child so the child got mails from DHS, including Approval Notice. Dad believes Mom concealed all mails addressed to the child from DHS.

As for PO Box, would Mom have access to the child's mails then?

Only if she had access to the PO Box.

If mom and dad are enemies, why are they still together?

Look, this is not so much a legal matter as a relationship issue. If one parent is trying to sabotage the other, it's time to get out of the relationship.
