VT statute updates

August 2024

On our Vermont Restraining Orders page, we revised What is the legal definition of domestic abuse in Vermont? and What is a sexual assault or stalking protective order? based on 2024 legislative changes adding coercive controlling behavior to the definition of abuse.

On our Vermont Custody page, we revised Can a parent who committed abuse get parental rights and responsibilities (custody) or parent-child contact (visitation)? based on those same 2024 legislative changes.

We also added one related statute to our Selected Vermont Statutes page.
