Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee
Mail Theft and Obstruction of Correspondence
My estranged wife removed my personal checking account statement from our mailbox. She gave the statement to her attorney without my knowledge.
Her lawyer used it against me in my deposition.
Does U.S. Code, Title 18 Crimes and Criminal Procedure, Part I Crimes, Chapter 83 Postal Service, � 1702 Obstruction of Correspondence, and � 1708, Theft or Receipt of Stolen Mail Matter Generally cover the above actions?
Can my estranged wife and her attorney be charged with one or both of these Federal offenses?
If so how would I proceed?

Re: Mail Theft and Obstruction of Correspondence
Yes, the federal statute would apply, and yes your estranged wife could be prosecuted, and you would contact the US attorneys office about having them do so.... but they are not likely to do anything with this.
