The Legal Requirements Around Sharing Information About Children After Separation

11 minutes

From the comments and requests of followers, it seems that a lot of separated parents have difficulty getting information about their kids - whether it be from schools, or health care providers or in relation to activities or from other agencies that are involved in kids’ lives. This is a question that I am asked a lot. Those followers have come up with complex applications of several laws to access information. Getting information about your kids after separation should not be that hard. Difficulty getting that information may be an indication of parental alienation.

In this episode of the Ontario Family Law Podcast, Certified Specialist in Family Law, ⁠John Schuman⁠, explains how parents can use the law to make sure that get important information about their kids. He goes over the general family law provisions that should get parents the information they need. John looks specifically at the rules around obtaining information about children’s education and explains how things get more complicated when a child turns 18. He also goes over health information and explains how getting that type of information is subject to different considerations. In doing so, he points out the legal authorities that parents need to know.
