Vermont Support

Vermont support as a point of reference to a divorce can be interpreted two different ways.

1. Alimony or as it is sometimes called, Spousal Maintenance

2. Child support

Vermont support when talking about spousal maintenance or alimony, as it is commonly known, can be permanent or temporary.

It might be paid in a onetime lump sum, division of assets, or as monthly payments.

Either way, there are several ways to diminish your Vermont support responsibility.

To take advantage of the system, you need to understand how the system really works in Florida.

Alimony in Vermont can be set at the discretion of your county judge in Family court if you and your ex can’t reach an agreement.

Disposable income is a major factor in alimony. Disposable income is defined as your total income less taxes and necessary living expenses.

What income remains once your taxes and living expenses are paid is known as "disposable income".

There are right and wrong ways to accomplish this. It’s important that understand how the system works and use a proven strategy that is guaranteed to get you the results you want.

Vermont Child Support is an unusual issue because unlike alimony, it’s not left to the discretion of a judge, but calculated using Vermont guideline formulas.

Little regarding child support is subject to examination, so your disposable income doesn’t become a factor.

Child support is calculated using a guideline formula based your income, her income, the number of children that you have, and the amount of time that you spend with the children each month.

Factors excluded from calculating child support in Vermont are your expenses, her expenses, and the children's principal costs.

It should be noted however that additional expenses such as day care and medical expenses are often added to the guideline support.

So for example, if your child needs medical treatment not covered by medical insurance, like braces, this medical expense will be in addition to your regular monthly support payments.

Expect to pay roughly speaking half of these “additional” expenses.
