Child Custody: One of the most difficult but also one of the most rewarding facets of Vermont family law are child custody matters. There is nothing more important then determining the rights and responsibilities of each parent when it pertains to raising their children. In Vermont, the best interest of the child is always the most paramount concern. Child Custody litigation can get ugly; but it doesn’t have to. The key is to always keep the end game in sight, that being what are the needs of the children and what role each parent should play in meeting those needs. It is presumed from the start that each parent can assist substantially in raising their child. However, if circumstances arise that raise questions as to one parent’s ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their children, swift legal action can be taken to ensure that the children are protected.
