I was just hoping to stir some discussion. I'm sure it has affected other peoples lives and I was hoping to hear how other people have dealt with this.

Oh sorry, just trying to provide a reference point. I represent some soldiers in similar situations, so I am assuming it is a problem in other locations too. I feel bad for the soldiers that have been in treatment for years and are doing well, and they don't have the support they need in Court...

The doctor is subpoenaed and the VA is using federal law to say that the Court can't order the Doctor to be here. Unfortunately, I can't post the article.

The VA's reasoning (so far) is because they can. Many solders with PTSD are being denied custody/visitation or their visitation is being restricted because they have PTSD and they don't have the doctors or other treating personal available to come to court and explain that solder's situation...

Medical records have to be certified or have a doctor testify to have them submitted in a trial. The VA will allow neither.

A Vet in Syracuse, NY is trying to get joint custody of his child. His mental status is at issue in this matter. He wants his psychiatrist to testify. The Doctor also wants to testify. The VA won't allow the Doctor to testify. A court battle is now going on about this.
