- What it uses
- Vermont has three statewide '813' affidavits split by case type: 400-00813A (income and expenses) plus 400-00813B (property and assets) for divorce-type cases, and 400-00813S for parentage only.
- Which form, when
- Case type, not income. 813A is required in a new divorce, civil union dissolution, legal separation, annulment or parentage case with minor children; in a motion to modify child support or maintenance; for a support obligor facing enforcement; when the child is in DCF custody; or on court order or a discovery request. 813B is required in a new divorce, dissolution, separation or annulment with minor children, or on order or request. 813S is required in a new parentage case, or on order or request. All per each form's printed instructions; the court page says 813A and 813B are 'used in divorce cases' and 813S is 'used in parentage cases only'.
- Filed or exchanged
- Filed with the court before or at the first case manager's conference, or at least 7 days before the first hearing if no conference is set, with a copy sent to the other party (and to OCS if involved) at the same time (form instructions; vtcourts.gov child-support page: 'file them with the court, and give a copy to the other party').
