A) Do we know that he is the father? (sometimes step Dads and such provide insurance, even ex- )
B) Do we know that there is NOT some injunction from him having access? (abuse or legal restriction)

Of course we never know the answer to these questions, so...

The simple answer is to ask the Mom if there is a legal reason he does NOT have access to the records. If she can supply one, then the fun begins, because you have to prove this is valid. If she cannot provide one, then he should be given access. But since the restriction was placed by the Mom, put the onus on her to give a reason. Then check with your lawyer or follow Bert's advice (warning, electrons are somewhat tricky to cut smile )
