Full Question:

Do facilities have the right to deny medical/billing/attendence information about a minor child to the parents? Do we have the right to ask who has legal custody of the child? Does the parent who does not have the legal custody have the right to ask for any information reguarding the child?

Answer:

I'm unsure who the "we" you refer to are. The rights of a parent without legal custody depend on the terms of their custody agreement and any protective orders that may be in effect.
