Am I able to provide case details and evidence to law enforcement if I signed Confidentiality Order?

Thanks for responding to my question. It sounds like the security company is protecting sensitive information that it does not want the public to have access to. This generally would mean you can share the documents with your attorney for use in court but they should be introduced as evidence under seal so they do not become part of the court case records.

Lovely!

I've figured it out... there's an option to Motion for Modification. So I'm good.

Good. It is always nice when you can figure things out on your own.

Good luck with whatever it is you need luck for.

Even if you signed a Confidentiality Order, you can still share info or evidence with law enforcement, they’re usually allowed to see that stuff. The order mostly stops you from talking about the case with other private parties.

You are being awfully broad with your “law enforcement” statement. Confidential information cannot be shared just because someone is in law enforcement.

No, that's not the way it works. If a cop knocks on your door and says "let me see that document," (the one that is subject to the valid non-disclosure), you aren't allowed to just hand it over. Of course, if the cop has a search warrant, or if you are served a subpeona, it may be a different story.

Here is a link that describes confidentiality orders and who can access the confidential information:

Confidential information cannot be disclosed without giving all parties the opportunity to object to disclosure.
