What should I do if my co-parent refuses to share appointment details?
You are worried you do not have child health information.

Short answer
Write what appointment details you asked for, when you asked, what response you got, and any provider or record source.
Name the detail
Ask for the appointment date, provider, reason, after-visit note, or follow-up item.
Specific requests are easier to track.
Save the request and response
Keep your message and any reply or no-response note.
Use the date and topic in the record.
Keep the message calm
Focus on the child's care and the information needed.
Do not use the message to argue about the past.
Make a specific, usable request
Ask for the provider, date, time, location, and any child-care instructions you genuinely need. Save the request and response history, use available patient or school portals appropriately, and seek local guidance rather than repeatedly messaging or trying to access restricted accounts.
Make the next piece usable
Make one medical update record with the requested detail, request date, response, and source.
