Custody

Laws current as of April 1, 2024

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

Generally, both custodial and non-custodial parents have the same right of access to any records relating to their child, including school records, activities, teachers, teachers’ conferences, medical/dental treatment providers, and mental health records. However, a judge can order otherwise.1 If you believe that you or your child will be in danger if the other parent can access these records, you can mention this to the judge and try to prove why the other parent’s access should be limited or taken away.
