Is it a federal offense to open my ex-wife's mail if it is delivered to my address?
I don't think it is a federal offense but it is ethically wrong. You know its wrong but you do it anyways because you're curious. There could have been a better way to handle it -ie. return it to the post office- but i don't think you'll be sitting behind bars for it.
Another View: YES, it is a federal offense. It is a violation of US Postal Regulations: "Intercepting the Mail Belonging to Another." Depending on how well or how badly the divorce is going, or how vindictive she may be, you could be letting yourself in for a LOT of grief!
