VERMONT Part 15

The child support guidelines available from the Vermont Department of Human Services are presumed to be correct, unless they are shown to be unfair in a particular case. There is an official child support computation worksheet available. Child support law is described in Vermont Statutes Annotated; Title 15, Sections 653 to 669, 757, and 781 to 783, Title 33, Section 4103, and Vermont Rules for Family Proceedings; Rule 4.

Vermont child support is typically calculated by using a Child Support Worksheet. The worksheet generates an appropriate Vermont child support obligation according to each spouse's income and factors such as taxes paid and retirement contributions. It is essential to take a look at any appropriate Vermont child support deviation factors that may be applicable to the situation. Additional information about Vermont child support can be found in the Vermont state statutes.
