I live in California and have a restraining order against my husband that gives me control of the property. I forgot to mark the move out request. He does not live here but continues to receive mail at this address. Now he has his mother’s legal documents coming here too. Can I send back the mail to the senders? He does not live here and cannot come near * feet of home. I don’t see him. Order is a no contact order.
Yes, you can send back the mail to the senders with a note indicating that the recipient does not live at your address anymore. You may also consider informing the post office about your situation to prevent future mail deliveries for your husband and his mother.

One more question, is it ok because we are not yet divorced but I filed already
Yes, it's okay to send back the mail even if you are not yet divorced but have filed already. The restraining order and control of the property give you the right to manage the mail situation at your address.
