how do i get back property that was sent to my ex-wife when i purchased it and have a receipt?

Question

it was a birth certificate in my ex-wifes name for a passport for my son because she would not give him hers. I payed for it and have a receipt, she had it sent back to her house by the passport office and now refuses to give it back or pay for it. I know it's all a bit petty but there is a principle on this matter. any help and i would be very gratefull. thanks Chris

Answer 1

i think you should let it go,its not an issue or a big deal so don't waist your time with her...you got other impotent thing to do.

Answer 2

HI CHRIS.......

DID YOU WRITE A CHECK OR PAY CASH ?
(YOUR NAME ON THE RECEIPT ?)


A CHECK WILL PROVE YOU PAYED FOR IT.......AND .....IT WILL SHOW YOU WERE THE ONE TO REQUEST THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

YOU CAN TAKE THE RECEIPT AND SHOW IT TO THE OFFICE OF WHERE YOU PAYED FOR THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE, AND TELL THEM YOU DID NOT RECEIVE THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

YOU COULD ALWAYS TAKE IT TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT..BUT THAT WILL COST YOU MORE THEN THE ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND A LOT OF TIME ...TIME OFF OF WORK AND STRESS.

I KNOW THAT THIS IS A "PRINCIPLE" THAT IS HARD TO SOLVE, BUT IF YOU DO GO TALK TO THE OFFICE OF BIRTH CERTIFICATES / PASSPORTS......OR (PROPER NAME OF THE OFFICE) AND TALK TO THEM IN A MILD MANNERED WAY.....MAYBE THEY WILL GIVE YOU A SECOND COPY AT NO COST. SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL HAVE A HEART.

I WOULD IF I WAS THE PERSON IN CHARGE AT THAT OFFICE.

Answer 3

Court

Answer 4

Well, it IS in her name, and possession is 9/10th of the law :) you could take it to court, but I think that will cost you more than the passport... I would chalk that one up as a loss...

Answer 6
