During the early stages of a divorce, you and your spouse will go through the discovery process, during which time you and your spouse may each request that the other party disclose certain information, including medical records. However, your spouse may not request copies of your medical records in an effort to embarrass you or expose a mental or physical health issue out of spite. If this is the case, your lawyer may obtain a protective order to prevent your medical records from being released or for the disclosure to be limited.
