Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
My ex-wife has listed her new husband as the father on all of my daughter's medical documents. When I asked to get copies of my daughter's records, I had to provide her birth certificate, my driver's license, and also our divorce decree. I have not had any issues with receiving medical documents. The issue now is that I have noticed that my daughter's most recent ER visit paperwork states that my ex's new husband told the doctor's my daughter was his offspring (documented in daughter's record), and he also signed documentation stating his relationship to patient was father. Our Consent Order states that the designation of mom/dad and any variation of those two words, other than with step preceding, was not allowed. My question is.... should I be going after my ex's husband for impersonation, going after my ex for listing him in the slot I should be, or both of them?

There is no such thing as going after someone for impersonation, so the answer to that is "no."
You should be sitting in your lawyer's office (this is NOT a pro se project) to analyze the decree, and the documents you have and determine if a contempt versus your ex is appropriate.
Agreed with Mr. Ashman. You need a lawyer to look over your decree. I would focus on your lack of access to medical records not the labels being used.
