I have an already in place custody order. Both sides have made violations. We have had a recent change and may go back to court. Currently I have sole legal custody, do I have to share medical information with him currently if he spends extra time not currently allowed in the agreement? He is asking for doctors and he specifically is not allowed that information. Do I have to provide it now.
Hey ****! In Missouri, if you have sole legal custody, you typically have the right to make medical decisions and control access to medical information. If your custody order specifies that your ex is not allowed to access this information, you are not required to provide it, even if he spends extra time with the child. However, it's always best to consult with a local attorney to ensure you're following the order correctly. Also, if you anticipate returning to court, reviewing the terms of your custody agreement with your lawyer would be beneficial.
Should I wait till I speak with my lawyer to provide that information or should I be forthcoming until then. My appointment is not for two weeks and he is asking now.
Given that your custody order specifies that your ex is not allowed access to the medical information, you are not required to provide it before consulting with your lawyer. It's generally safer to wait for legal advice to ensure you're adhering to the custody agreement and protecting your rights.
Ok thank you

It's important to follow your custody agreement and protect your rights. Since you have sole legal custody and your ex is not allowed access to medical information according to the order, waiting to consult with your lawyer seems wise. If you have further questions, feel free to ask!
