FAQs

What is a No-Fault divorce?

In Vermont, a no-fault divorce is a divorce that is granted because you have lived separate and apart in excess of six months and you are not going to get back together again. This six month separation is different from the six month waiting requirement for minor children.

What is a Kitchen Table divorce?

This is the name given to a divorce where the couple downloads the forms from the State judiciary website, and does the divorce without any outside help.

Is a Kitchen Table divorce an option if we have significant assets, retirement accounts and a home to divide?

Generally, it is recommended that when the assets are complex, that a lawyer be involved to ensure the transfer of property is done in accordance with the law.

Are my retirement assets subject to division in the divorce?

Yes. All property, however and whenever acquired is considered marital property. In Vermont, the court is required to consider all property and then equitably divide it.

What is Alimony?

Alimony has a couple of different names. It is called Alimony by the IRS, and Spousal Maintenance in Vermont, and some places call it Spousal Support. This is money that one spouse pays to the other, if the other person lacks sufficient income, property or both to support themselves at a reasonable standard of living, as that standard was established during the marriage. The person paying also has to be able to afford to pay support. There are a variety of factors that the court considers in determining the amount and duration of alimony.
