CAN MY WIFE USE MY MEDICAL RECORDS AGAINST ME IN AN ACTION FOR CHILD CUSTODY?

QUESTION: My wife and I have been legally separated for 3 years. We continue to feud over the kids. Can she use my medical records against me? I am a carrier of Hepititus C.

MY RESPONSE:

You are entitled to confidentiality of your Physician/Patient records unless you waived that confidentiality by giving your wife access to those records or if you tender the issue of your health problem to the Court.

If you waive or waived that confidentiality, your wife could use those records in your divorce or legal separation case.

You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you in your case.
