Vt. Admin. Ord. of. Sup. Ct. 15

As amended through June 3, 2024

Section 15 - Enforcement of Child Support Orders

Upon receipt of a license suspension order issued under 15 V.S.A. § 798 for failure to pay child support, the Professional Responsibility Board will notify the attorney of the pending suspension and provide the attorney with an opportunity to contest the suspension based solely on the grounds of mistaken identity or compliance with the underlying child support order. If the Board finds neither a mistake in identity nor compliance with the underlying child support order, the right of the attorney to practice law in Vermont will be suspended. The license will be reinstated

(a) within 5 days of:

(1) a reinstatement order from the court, or

(2) notification from the Office of Child Support or the custodial parent, where the rights of that parent have not been assigned to the Office of Child Support, that the parent is in compliance with the underlying child support order, and

(b) upon payment of a reinstatement fee set by the fee schedule established by the State Court Administrator.
