I was wondering is there a way around in getting Psychology and MD doctors records if someone had incest and suicidal thoughts. I know the names of the Professionals whom the EX had gone too.

Thus, discovery will depend upon the facts and issues in each case. Important questions in a custody action may include issues such as incest and suicide and this information may be discoverable.

    I would suggest that you contact a family law attorney and get a 30 minute free consultation. You may contact me and I will be happy to discuss the issue with you right away.
