I received letter from solicitor saying my husband is divorcing me which i expected, they have requested my financial statement, proof of all the benefits i claim but they have also asked for my medical records which i am not too happy about, anybody any idea’s why they would need these and do i have to give them these.
The only thing I can suggest is that if there is a likelihood that you will be dependent of the state for care etc then there will be a desire by the system to take that into account in any settlement.
So far as I understand it the issue of guilty party in a divorce is now not part of the legal system. Therefore the only issues are about provisions for care of dependants and division of money/property.
However I have no legal expertise so I would have to say you need legal advice because whilst your medical records may be confidential there may be reasons that can be demanded by a court.
As Poll has said - you do need to get advice. But from what l know it could be to your advantage in a divorce that the courts do know you medical status as this could make such a difference to your claim. You don’t want them thinking you are fit and well and able to work fulltime and support yourself.
This question is very important one lettering to me and for the all over they are alert about their self. I am simple satisfied to know your info and I hope this lettering is success to makes ua careful about the divorce concerning issue as well as.
