I the mother, has FULL sole physical and legal custody.
My ex the dad, has "supervised visitation only"
He has never requested any information as far as health, or school records, he doesn't even visit more then one time a month and he has no reason he cant. He is not involved in their lives if at all not much. I was wondering if i'm legally required to provide him with ANY information or if im only obligated to make sure he get's his visits with the kids
He doesnt ask how there doing, he HAS NOT ASKED FOR ANY PAPERWORK SO I HAVE NO GOOD REASON TO INFORM HIM AS HE DOESNT CARE

If his only court mandated right is custody, then you do not have to provide him with any information regarding the children. If you do, in fact, have sole custody, then you have the discrestion as to whether the children's information is pertanent to him. He has no legal right, other than supervised visits and therefore, wouldn't be taking the children to school, dr. visits, or any other type of appointment that would require extra information. It's up to you if you feel you need to share anything with him. Good luck to you hun, I got a dead-beat ex myself who has never even seen my daughter and never paid a dime. Keep your head up your doing the right thing.

My ex is similar. He doesn't ever ask. In fact, he never even bothers to see his daughter. I send him an email about every 3 months. Just real short- to the point- all business letting him know what's new in her life and anything I think might be of importance. I don't try to fight him. I don't nag him about never seeing her. I just let him know what I think he should know, and that's it. I save the e-mails. This way, if the time should come where he tries to say I don't tell him anything, I've got proof- and he can't accuse me of harassing him or anything, because I only do it about 4 times a year.

How many different ways can you ask this same question? If you are not getting the response you want from this public forum, then I would recommend you consult a lawyer that deals with family law.
In my opinion, if he is paying child support, and he is visiting his children, he is being part of their life and has a right to know what is going on if he wants to.

I don't think you need to tell him unless he asks for the information or is making a stink about it. If, however, he asks you for the information you are obligated to let him know. He has not terminated his parental rights and still is entitled to information concerning his children.

WHY do you keep asking the same question over and over and over?
If he asks, tell him. If he doesn't then he probably doesn't care so don't bother him.
If you refuse to answer questions about his kids health or schooling, a judge could VERY well see that as unreasonable behavior on your part, and use it as the basis to modify the visitation or custody ruling.

If he hasn't asked, why are you worried about telling him? Our government was a don't ask don't tell policy, and I think that should work in your case as well. If something comes up when he is visiting with the kids, then he can ask you for more info if he wants it!
