Court Records And Privacy

Summary

Court records in North and South Carolina do not usually indicate when someone will be served. Legal paternity must be established for access to a childs records. Privacy laws protect medical and birth records, requiring consent or a court order for disclosure. Detectives and attorneys need legal grounds to access such information. If a subpoena is issued, it would be documented in court records, and you would typically be notified. HIPAA and similar privacy laws restrict unauthorized access to medical information.
