Legal Question in Family Law in California
Is it legal for a parent to read his child's mail?
What rights are held by the parent and his child who is under 18 regarding
personal property and mail? That is, can a parent legally open and read mail
addressed solely to his child without the childs permission?
Also, what other methods of child communication supervision by the parent are
forbidden by the law or protected by the child's rights, i.e. eavesdropping,
wiretapping, video surveillance, etc.?
