only me. ive got PR (perental responsibility) now i know that meens i have a say in things. im just wondering about my daughters doctor and medical records. i know her old doctors location but my ex has since moved to scotland.. my question is can i contact somewere to first find out where she is registered now and also can i have access to her medical records? hopefully over the phone or letter. i know my ex harmed my baby through an eating disorder but she kept quiet about my childs health just saying "shes fine" even though at 16 weeks in the womb my daughter already had a urine infection . can i call somewere and get her local GPs address and/or apply to view her records? any help needed thankyou dadtalk.com
Hi
As you have PR, you can contact the schools and doctor directly - you will (or should) need to prove that you have PR, but that shouldn't be a problem. I have no idea whether there are any complications added by the fact that your ex is in Scotland, but have a word with the Children's Legal Centre and they'll either advise you, or tell you who to speak to on this.
Ah, just found it in one of Gooner's previous posts - Scottish Child Law Centre is on 0131 667 6333

excellent ! thank you so much actd. ill give them a call. been on the phone all day since the ex said she will kill my daughter if i take her back to court. ill keep you posted. thanks again
piece of advice - make sure that ANY interaction with your ex is recordable i.e. email/text etc a phone call can be denied so make sure you have a way of recording that too to protect yourself and that of your daughter.
Apart from going to see her GP, make sure you also do the same with teachers and that they send out letters to you that they would put in school bags...

...a phone call can be denied so make sure you have a way of recording that ..
If you are going to do this, make sure you advise her that the call is being recorded otherwise you may not be able to use it in court - not sure if you can transcribe it though and then use the transcript.
i think thats about right, but you will find it amazing when the first thing you say is that the phone call is being recorded and will be kept as evidence if needed...people tend to either hang up or say very little...they then know that they can't just treat you as they wish...
