What is the name of your state? NH
Here's my story. I took my ex-girlfriend to court for a child support modification since I changed jobs. It was roughly half (lower) of what I used to make. She brought an attorney with her and I had none. They put up a stink as I expected. They wanted to know why I change jobs and I said for health reasons. The judge asked if I could be more specific, and I said it was a recommendation from my doctor, since I'm being treated for hypertension, that I find a less stressful job. Her attorney requested a note from the treating physician and the judge told me I had to get one. So I went and got one. Then her attorney objected. Court agreed. So the court order me to get another one. I just sent the other one off. Now since this is only a hearing to lower child support, how can my ex-girlfriend, her lawyer, and the judge, request information on my health. Am I protected under the hippa or any other law??? Please help!!!!
