I've looked through other posts on this subject, but
didn't really find out what steps I should take.

I am divorced and have had my own separate residence for
several years. I have also been a claimant in a class
action lawsuit and am about to receive my award. I was
not getting any correspondence with the settlement
facility regarding my award so I called them. They said
that they sent it to my name but at my old address. I was
sure that I had changed my address with them, but in any
case, it went to my ex's address, but with my name. He
has already been notified in the past to forward any of my
mail to me. Well, he opened the letter, which stated that
my award had been granted and would be sent soon. He made
a copy of the letter and gave it to his divorce attorney,
who then sent a copy to my divorce attorney stating that
my ex received the letter and opened it "on my behalf",
and that he now wants part of my award! Aside from
wanting some of my money, isn't it illegal for him to
have opened the letter addressed to me? and then sent it
on to a third party? I also think, and have to find out
from the settlement facility, that he may have called and
had them change my mailing address back to his address so
he could monitor the status of my award. I know he has
been opening or discarding other mail of mine because he
has never forwarded any mail to me in the past 2 years.
Who should I contact about this?

Thanks
