Re: Subpoena Duces Tecum
Without knowing more information, it is not possible to give you a specific answer to your question. Typically in SC, medical records, physician notes, medication, etc. can be easily obtained by Subpoena. Copies of government documents can be obtained through Subpoena or FOIA requests. Mental health records are typically protected, but they can be obtained if the Court orders that they be released.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
