VERMONT Part 18

If the noncustodial parent has a higher income than the custodial parent, the noncustodial parent would then be responsible for the greater portion of the child support obligation; conversely, if the noncustodial parent has a lower income than the custodial, the noncustodial parent would then be responsible for the smaller portion of the child support obligation.

A spouse involved in a child support proceeding in Vermont must file a financial statement with the court. The opposing party may inspect this statement if he or she wishes. Failure to file this information with the court can result in the offender giving a financial award to the opposing party.
