Can the court subpoena medical records in a divorce?

Yes, a court can issue a subpoena for medical records in a divorce case if the records are deemed relevant to the proceedings. This may occur when issues such as health, custody, or financial matters are involved. However, privacy laws, such as HIPAA in the U.S., require that proper procedures be followed to protect sensitive information. Both parties may also have the opportunity to challenge the subpoena if they believe it infringes on privacy rights.
