A Columbus Ohio Child Custody Attorney article about your right to obtain school or medical records and information about your child.
This is a complaint that family law attorneys hear often, regardless of whether parents live across the street from each other or across the country. In Ohio, unless a court finds it is not in the child’s best interest for reasons such as domestic violence, both the residential and non-residential parent are entitled to school, medical and day care records access. This is true whether you have visitation only, shared parenting, or sole custody. This means you have the RIGHT to receive those documents.
