Alimony Child Support in Vermont

Alimony and child support in Vermont are governed by separate statutes, with child support calculated under 15 V.S.A. § 656 and spousal maintenance under § 752. Child support amounts are determined using a formula-based guideline that accounts for each parent’s income and parenting time, with the official source providing the exact calculation. The statute also includes a 1% administrative fee applied to support payments. Spousal maintenance is not formula-driven; instead, the court considers statutory factors to decide the amount and duration. For a precise estimate based on your circumstances, use the DocketMath calculator, which applies the guideline rules and the verified 1% figure from the official source at legislature.vermont.gov.
