Court: Grandparents denied access to adult child health records
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled the Ashenfelters cannot access their daughter Mulligan's medical and mental health records to support grandparent visitation. The decision emphasizes privacy rights over a district court order, noting no commitment file existed and Mulligan showed stable support for her son. The ruling keeps broader privacy protections intact beyond visitation.
