Can the non-custodial parent have access to the child's records?

A parent who does not have custody, known as the “non-custodial parent,” can still have access to the child’s records and information. This includes medical, dental, health, and school or educational records. However, the parent with custody, known as the “custodial parent,” can ask for the child’s address to be deleted from the records. If the custodial parent writes to the person who keeps the records at each location, known as the “records custodian, and asks for the address to be deleted, then the records custodian must do it.1
