Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Ex trying to get my medical information

My ex-husband is trying to get my medical information, because he doesn't want to drive an extra 30 miles to see his kids. One of my doctors gave me a note saying he doesn't want me to drive over 50 miles because of the meds I'm on. Spinal stinosis, herniated disks and more. So he is trying to mess with me and has cancelled his visitation for over 18 months because he didn't want to stick to the time sharing schedule written in our divorce agreement. And STILL continues to cancel. I have them 96% of the year. How do I block him from getting my records? He has done EVERYTING possible NOT to see his kids and only wants to when his girlfriend makes him mad. He abandoned us and stole over $80K during the divorce putting it into his girlfriends name. I just want to live my life but he keeps trying to treat me as I'm still his wife?!?! He wanted his cake and to eat it to! And I Said NO! He is a deputy sheriff in South Florida, I don't want him fired then I get no child support and besides I made a complaint to the agency and they never even called me back or gave me an outcome to my complaint!?! If they knew what I know he would be in JAIL!!! Someone Please Help, I have no money for an attorney or my kids won't eat!

Re: Ex trying to get my medical information

Unless he walks in with a badge and gun (and even that might not work), how's he supposed to get your records? HIPAA laws are tougher than Ft. Knox.

I'm not sure why you'd want this jerk to see the kids, but try this: file a motion to upwardly deviate from the guidelines. In other words, you want him to pay more support than normal because you have the kids almost 100% of the time. Watch him start exercising his visitation then!
