Asked on Mar 31st, 2017 on Child Custody - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
My child's mostly uninvolved father threatened me with a custody battle. He has been in rehab three times within the first year of my child’s life and never finished. He had behavioral issues every time. He also has a criminal record now. I want to prove that he is unfit for overnight visits.

When I have tried to subpoena medical records, the hospital refused and required my to obtain a court order from a judge. Medical information is generally confidential and thus protected.
