What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
Not sure if this is the right place. If not, kindly redirect me. Thank you.
My son's mother and I are split up. Never been married. High conflict situation. I've been trying to collect my sons medical and school records myself since his mother is non cooperative. The school is giving me a really hard time. I do not have any custody, but I do still have visitation rights. There is no court order barring me from accessing my child's records. Am I within my rights to request records from his school, pediatrician and the hospitals where he has had his surgeries? I would like to be able to contact his school. I live a few hours away so it's difficult to make it up to conferences and what not. I'd like to be able to communicate with his teacher by email. But they act like I am just a pain in their asses and that I'm the bad guy. Like they can't give me information etc. I feel like there are so many hoops to jump through.
