Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
After my parents' divorce, the court order from an appeal was made available to the public. This document contains my personal health information. My name appears several times, and the document describes me as seriously mentally ill and details my diagnoses. It also details the number of times I have been hospitalized, and says that I need to be supervised/need assistance with my own care. I did not consent to any of this being said or being made public, but now this record is one of the first results that comes up if you Google my name. I feel my privacy has been violated, but I cannot find any way to request that my name be redacted from the records without going to court, and it looks like my request will likely be denied anyway. Is there a way I can have my name redacted?

It is too late. It is now memorialized in the internet. Privacy laws have probably changed since you were a kid. If you are under 20 you might have a bAsis for a law suit, but that is questionable too.
