Answer by K.
Yes. A court or attorney can gain access to whatever they’re looking for, mental records included.

Answer by Donna
Only with a court order and reasonable cause. They cannot just get them without a valid reason and due process. If they have investigated the report and discovered lies or inconsistencies in the story a judge can order the records. You may need to get a lawyer to protect your rights in this.
