Re: insurance coverage for step children

You personally have no rights. However, although the statute does not address a non-custodian being present during doctor's visits, he does have an absolute right to their medical records and information and the ex wife has a duty toi provide information to him unless the decree states something different.

I do not see a court rejecting a request to be present for medical visits, so your husband may want to petition the court to request that an order be entered allowing him to be present.'

Good luck
