Can a parent who does not have custody have access to the child's records?

Unless there is a restraining order that says otherwise, both parents will have access to the child’s records, even if the child lives with only one parent. Records include, but are not limited to, medical, dental, daycare, and educational records, including notification of school meetings related to your child.1
