QUESTION
Where do you store your childrens vital documents after a divorce?
Asked on Jun 09th, 2014 on Divorce - New Jersey
More details to this question:
Where should originals be stored so both parents can easily and fairly have immediate access and keep the documents safe and who should pay for the storage? It seems no one ever talks about how to deal with information sharing between divorced parents with regard to original documents and vital information such as medical records and school records.

Both parents have access to obtain the documents, so it is conceivable that duplicate sets of documents exist. The school is also required to send information to both parents, including transcripts of grades. The only legal document belonging to the children that I think you cannot have a duplicate of is a passport. That could be kept in a safe deposit box, the cost of which is very minimal and can be split by the parties. Otherwise, duplicate sets of records can be maintained.
