Can father obtain the medical records without consent from the mother or child as long as he signs the release form?

I'm pretty sure, not positive, that with joint custody both parents have the luxery of obtaining any and all records of the child without consent from the other parent.

In theory yes... but in practise it can be a lot harder.

Why not just ask the mother for them ??.. otherwise just go to the doctors and show them some papers and see what happens. Custody agreement, birth certificate of child and your own id would be a start. If you are refused and if you still want the records then you may have to go to court.
