Medical records in divorce

[adriftabroad]

Does anyone know how far back my medical records are relevant in a divorce?

Child custody is involved along with spousal support/property.

(15 year old DD who is living and always wants to live with me) Her father absent from her life for 2 years now. It is purely to reduce maintenance etc. Financial abuse has been proved along with emotional abuse. (in court)

I went to hospital 8.5 years ago with pancreatitis and he is saying I am an alcoholic and unfortunately, that is on record. He has found my records in an old drawer in family home (where me and DD are not living, he locked us out)

Extreme thanks to anyone who can help.

Well I might be more of an argument that you should get more of the pot if you are an alcoholic because your earning capacity is less.

Other than that don't let it bother you. No court is going to make 15 year old live where she doesn't want to.

!!! I better start drinking (more)!

Thankyou very much. I feel a bit better.
His lawyer is saying she can live with him therefore he doesnt have to house us past 18. Plus only 50/50 even though she says it is totally out of the question. (It really is)

To me, it sounds completely mad. Married 20 years.

Thanks again

Just bumping in case anyone else has any idea?
Seeing my lawyer on Monday, he is lovely but free (legalaid) and quite new I think.

I’m not sure he does have to house you post divorce. You should be prepared to move and both of you need money from the property for two properties.

He could try and use drinking 8 years ago as a reason for him to have dc but I’m assuming you have evidence that this is not the case now. If you do drink, you will need to be honest. Plus a 15 year old should be listened to regarding living arrangements. You do have to be prepared to move on and support yourself to some extent. What could you buy with 40/60 or 59/50? You should also consider pensions, his future earnings and yours but you won’t get indefinite support for you and dc.

He is in my house and changed the locks. I want a clean break. He wants the house! Its ridiclous.

All very complicated.

I just wanted to know if 8/9 year old medical records (which are incorrect) are relevant in a divorce. Or rather, how relevant.

No! I do not drink. (Apart from normally)
DD definitely will not live with him, he has not seen her or talked to her for 3 years.
Thanks for your reply. Much apppreciated.

If I need a medical, I will have one.

@adriftabroad He won’t get the house. 50/50 would presumably mean it was sold. People in court can allege all sorts of things and you explain why it’s not true. You might need to disclose your medical records but you have a right to update and explain the situation. Why did something like this get in your records in the first place?

Seriously?

Thank you so much. This is what I presumed. I feel better. At least for now!

Husband was my avocate in hospital and he said this to staff while I was in an induced coma.

I have never given permission for these records to be submitted. He found them.
I want a divorce and he does not.

He is a very unpleasant person. All about money.

I thought that was quite valid actually! Also, why not separate from me / involve SS / divorce me / seek 100% custody 8 years ago?

Anyway, it will all come out in the wash!
