Child Support

Laws current as of July 11, 2024

How is child support paid?

Child support in Vermont is paid in one of three ways:

  1. “wage withholding” – child support payments are deducted from the non-custodial parent’s wages or unemployment compensation and are sent to Office of Child Support (“OCS”) Registry, which is then sent to you;
  2. payment from the non-custodial parent to the Office of Child Support Registry, which is then sent to you; or
  3. direct payment from the other parent to you.

Please see the Vermont Department for Children and Families website for more details on how child support is paid in Vermont and what the Office of Child Support Registry does.
