What is the name of your state? Florida
Medical records were requested by the petitioners attorney in a paternity and custody suit because the petitioner was claiming the respondent was mentally unstable. Is it legal or ethical for those records to be given to the petitioner by his attorney? I thought that medical records are confidential and should have only been seen by the judge and the attorneys in the case.
