Can a judge order a 19 year old to sign and release medical records to a non custodial parent?

The judge ordered my 19 year old son, to sign a medical release form so that his dad, who has nothing to do with him since 2003, access to his medical records, high school records, and any future college records.
The son refuses to sign as he is an legal adult and doesn't want his father to know his business. The father physically abused his son, and father has mental health issues, which are cleary documented in family court. Can you believe such things happen, judge order the son to sign the medical release form without consulting with him. What do you think? The father only pays child support, nothing else, and has not been in the son's life since 2003, but recently took the matter into family court with a lawyer. The son now has his own private medical coverage, and will be a full time student in the fall.

I will be waiting for the father to take this matter back into court, and allow the son to speak directly to the judge about his father's abuse/mental health issues and the son can explain to the judge why he is upset with her ruling.
In the meantime, I have been researching family law on parents accessing their child's records, and I have found good cause to challenge the judge's rulings.

There is something wrong here. Was this hearing ex parte? Were you ro your son not served? What did he tell the court the reason for the request? Was this none before he was 18?
Regardless, you need to hire an attorney to draft and motion to reconsider and state all of your concerns and teh past behavior of the father. If your son is afraid of his father, the court need to know this information.
OR you can wait until the court sends a warrant for your son , generally called a "show cause" order , ordering your son to appear before the court and atate why he has not complied with the court's order. But if the judge has low telrence for people that disobey his orders, your son better bring his toothbrush.

Consult and hire an attorney; and asks that your attorney fees be paid for my your ex husband. I can think of no earthly reason a court should force a adult child to reveal anything to a parent. If the don't have a good relationship, and the child voluntarily provides grades etc to parents, then that is no buisiness of the courts. I assume he must be court ordered to pay for his colleg and that is why he thought he should have acess. BUT, if the father is abusive, all bets are

It's called a legal system.
