In Vermont divorce law, a divorce petition can bring if either spouse has resided within the state for 180 days or more.
A divorce shall not be mandated for any reason unless the complainer or the defendant has stayed in the state for an annum before the date of the final hearing.
If the person has retained residence in Vermont, then temporary absence from the province due to
illness, job, work in the military camp would not affect the requirements.
- Complaints about separation for any reason and confirming the matrimonial contract shall provide in the county where the parties reside.
- Higher courts shall hear and consider complaints for legal separation and for affirming the binding contract.
- Vermont is a state of equitable distribution.
- Title to the assets, whether in the names of the wife or husband or both or a nominee,
would not be considered unless equitable distribution can be done without disturbing separate assets.
