    I was just curious really as I wondered if you could find out what for example your ex has been doing with your children if it involved SS . You seem to indicate you need to be fairly specific does this mean you just cant ask for everything concerning you and your children?

    As for what would you do with it what else would you use it for to goto court i would think would be the only thing that you could use the information for
    It would, I believe, be legitimate to remove from the records you were allowed to see the names of anyone whose confidentiality might be breached were the names left in, if that makes sense.

    So if your ex had a new partner but Social Services were monitoring the family for some reason, the name of the new partner might well be blacked out, as would the names and any other identifying details of any other children in the extended family.

    Also I know that doctors can remove details if it's felt that the information might be harmful to you. I can't think of a specific example there, it's all outside my direct experience.
