I went and had an attorney fill out the subpoenas for the medical records. They have to be either brought my the custodian or be certified. So he filled them out, and just added my number incase they didn't want to apear.

I have had only 1 out of the 3 I am worried about call but then that is a mess or maybe I just didn't understand. He was unsure where to send them, I explained to him that he would not have to testify if he sent the records certified. He sent them to the clerk...

I know I need copies of them (to make sure they are whole and so I can prepare), but will I need to supply the ex with copes at the hearing?

1. Can I request copies of them from the clerk?

2. Will I need copies for the ex as well?

3. Can I call the other to Doctor's and just let them know all I need is certified copies?

Depends on whether it's a trial or a motion hearing. For trial you don't need to provide copies, for a motion you should submit copies of your evidence with the motion, which means that you will serve the other party with the evidence.

I don't know procedure for your jurisdiction. More than likely, you can't. The court will unseal the medical records at the trial.

See above.

You can if they've been subpoenaed to produce the evidence.
