Yesterday I went for closing arguments and a verdict in a year and a half custody battle I have been fighting against my in-laws. My now ex-inlaws were trying to gain custody of the children my wife and I share. The grandparents are her caregivers and guardians. The judge gave me custody of the children with sole decision making in the areas of religion, education, and medical.
The judge was a class act and a very respectable person, but I cant help but feel as if he wanted to give my inlaws more than what they are entitled to under the law. I agreed that I would keep the mother informed on all decision's concerning the children and listen to her ideas and suggestions.
My wife has a full guardianship placed on her due to post operative complications following a brain tumor resection. The guardianship placed on her states that she can elect no one to act on her behalf. Yesterday the judge said she can have access to the childrens medical records as well as the school records. Her attorney said she is unable to get them for herself and would need to have someone go get them for her. The judge then said she can send someone from her family to obtain the records to bring to her.
Does this seem right? If she is unable to care for herself, or make her own medical decisions, and her guardianship order states that she is unable to elect someone to act on her behalf how can she elect someone to retrieve the records? I want my ex wife to have the information I would never keep information from her concerning her children. The problem I have is her extended family has had the door propped open for them to sift through my childrens private records. Any info woulf be appreciated. Thank you.What is the name of your state?
