However, Just because I'm listed as a Computer Expert doesn't mean I don't have knowledge of other areas. That's why I had my title changed to include "Renaissance Man". For example, you don't know if I'm a computer expert for a medical practitioner which would mean I would have specialized knowledge of HIPAA. The fact is every piece of advice I have giving you has been spot on correct.
You didn't need to post as much info as you did. The key is that the info was given to Child Services and then passed on to your ex.
If the info was requested by Child Services then that may have had the force of law and overrides your request to not give out records. However, if the request was for only your child's records and they included yours, then there was a HIPAA violation.
Finally, while I'm sure this caused you some personal problems, its not the same as spreading your info all over the place as you intimated. While you may have sorry great inconvenience, you were not damaged in a legal sense. Which limits your recourse.
By the way, I just reviewed all my answers in this thread. And no where do I think I was rude. The closest I came was in response to your post where you insulted us by saying we didn't know enough about HIPAA. Clearly you are not being objective here. You are angry and upset, justifiably so. But that anger is causing you to lose your objectivity and see insult where there is none, and strike out against people trying to help you.
