Hello,
I am a very fit custodial parent who needs to take a prescription SSRI for anxiety (situational), but I am not because I am afraid this info will be asked in the discovery/litigation process of the upcoming custody trial. I am unsure if HIPPA, etc applies to my medical records and privacy on this. If I do go to the doctor, can this information or prescription come out? Would it be wise to keep off my insurance & do self-pay? Please let me know if I can safely seek medical assistance without jeopardizing any custody as I am a wonderful loving responsible parent. Should they be able to access this, please let me know the process it which it would take to do that. I am a little uncomfortable asking my lawyer this, since it is sensitive info.
Thank you!
