Q: Is my ex required to provide me with a copy of his medical records and doctors information?
My ex is telling me that he doesn't have to provide me with documents with his doctor's information listed on it, it's basically a letter from his doctor saying that he's unable to work and he said he provided to the courts but he won't give me a copy with the documents he turned in, is he allowed to do that?
A:
If he intends to rely on that documentation and wants the court to review that documentation to make some sort of decision in your child support matter, you must be provided copies. Please Google Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure "Rule 49" which describes those obligations.
Perhaps a strongly worded demand letter from an experienced attorney would convince him to properly comply with his disclosure obligations.
A qualified and experienced family law attorney can of course assist you in considering your options and then getting where you need to be. Most of us offer free, 1/2-hour consultations, in which your matter can be discussed in detail. That would be a great opportunity to discuss the specifics of your matter and develop a plan. I would encourage you to quickly schedule this free consultation.
