It depends on what the custody situation is. If the mother has full custody, then the father does not have access to it, at least in Ohio.

Sadly, if the mother is the primary care giver and custodial parent then the doctor has the right to deny you the information. You can go to court and get a judgment which would prohibit the child's mother from keeping medical information from you. Unless you have it in the custody agreement or you are listed somewhere on the child's medical paperwork, then it is a violation of HIPPA (medical privacy act laws) for any health care information to be released to anyone but the child's legal guardian.

Does the father have full custody of the child? If the father does not, then you might not. Why would you want to spend a bunch of money to find out info from your dentist -- sounds like a waist of money.

It depends on who has custody. No you can't sue them, how do they know you're even his father? You need to produce legal documents, not necessarily a release from the mom, showing them that you're entitled to the information.

that's really of a paradox that you need to be screaming bloody homicide contained in the call of morality and exclude faith as a foundation for that morality all interior a similar question... the position did you imagine morality got here from ? particular till now Christianity there have been some pagan beliefs and superstitions that defined some justification for human sacrifices, cannibalism and the likes yet i must wish that you do not employ those as a foundation on your experience of morality ; so what's you reference aspect ? the politically ultimate perspectives of president Obama ; some moral education guide ; some ideology or philosophy ?... you need to base your morality on some thing... and then you need to come to time period with the actual undeniable actuality that your foundation will be diverse from that of those pious yet faulty mom and father ; particular what they did develop into incorrect and they don't elect you to curve the knife of their wound yet that does no longer grant you with the right of judging and condemning them ; one aspect is for particular is they in actual actuality (though erroneously) concept that their determination develop into the ultimate they could do for his or her babies ; that's better than we can say about the some 50 tens of millions beating hearts that rational and politically ultimate US citizen have aborted to this point... the region with morality is that as quickly because that's no longer firmly anchored in a strong faith it turns right into a shifting objective that's up for grab through the balloting majority.... till the subsequent elections. Edit for the mouse: tell that to the 50 million aborted babys
