EspañolOn our Vermont Custody page, we created the new subsection Steps to file for custody (parental rights & responsibilities) to reorganize the steps into six separate questions, making it easier for users to find the information they need. These questions explain the usual stages in a custody case and cross-link to other relevant information on our website:
- Considerations before filing
- Step 1: Prepare for the case
- Step 2: File and serve the custody petition
- Step 3: Preliminary court dates
- Step 4: Reach an agreement or go to trial
- Step 5: Options if you disagree with the order
We also moved the following questions to the sub-section How the process works, to make it easier for users to find the information they’re looking for:

Do I need a lawyer?, What happens if I recently moved to Vermont - can I still file here?, What are the exceptions to the “home state rule”?, and Can I change the state where the case is being heard?
