Divorce in Vermont

Vermont's divorce rate of 3.2 per 1000 is considered slightly below the national average of 3.6. Divorce laws in Vermont are comparable to those of other states and are not difficult to understand. Adultery, a spouse sentenced to prison for three or more years, or intolerable severity or cruelty are just a few of the grounds for divorce in Vermont. Property division in Vermont is done equitably, meaning fair but not necessarily equally and spousal support may be awarded if one spouse lacks enough income to meet their needs.
