I would pull your proof of joint legal custody and take it by or fax it to those offices. You are entitled to the same information that he is, end of story. If the school/day care or doctor’s office refuses to give it to you then I would suggest to them that you don’t want to have to take legal action to obtain these records that you are entitled to.
And, what do I do if they still refuse? I have had my daughters psychologist do the same thing, I tried a few months ago to get a copy of those records as ex wouldn’t even let me come for any sessions, then the psychologist (court order he had to send them) wouldn’t meet with me because she claimed it’s a conflict of interest. I only wanted to talk about my daughters, and some of the concerns I had about them - not myself. Could ex be telling everyone that he has sole custody and not to include me in on anything? That’s what it seems like.
sounds like it…if you have the proof, use it.
You have a right to have a copy of the records. If they refuse to give them to you, I would take them a copy of the order showing that you have joint legal custody. If that does not work, you can ask the clerk of court to issue a subpoena for these records.

New problem, Kindercare director has said that because my ex signed the girls up for this daycare, she is not allowed to release ANY information about my daughter to me, only him, per their “policy”. Is this policy legal? I feel like my legal rights, to my own daughter have been violated. I explained that we have Joint Legal and offered her a copy of the court papers. Still, she refuses.
I used to work for Kindercare… years ago. Go to the regional director. She may require something as simple as a birth certificate or as complex as a court order. BUT they are a corperation, they will follow the letter of the law. They are not going to get in the middle of a custody issue… they have too much to loose.
Kindercare should give you the records, however the easiest way to get them may be through a subpoena. You can ask the clerk of court to sign the subpoena on your behalf. You will need to serve the registered agent for Kindercare. You can search for the registered agent here:

Hey all,
I am preparing to go to court for motion to modify (I posted about this previously) and am trying to get all of my girls records together as my evidence of different things (and make sure all t’s are crossed, I’s are dotted…) So, I called daycare for a copy of all her records - including billing, and incident reports showing her behavior since dad has been taking care of her. They said sure. Next thing I know, ex emails me stating to “leave daycare alone, they don’t want to be in the middle, I’ll give you a copy of her records.” What do I do? He will obviously only let me see what he wants me to. Doesn’t joint legal give me full rights to all information pertaining to her and the billing? I have had the same problem with the doctors office. He just recently switched their doctors (old doctors knew me and I was on file as a parent) so the same thing is happening. First they tell me they will send the copy, next thing I know, ex says he will give me one.
What do I do?
