Bill > S0267

This bill amends Vermont's existing law on divorce proceedings to change the timing of a "decree nisi" - a preliminary decree of divorce that becomes final after a waiting period. Specifically, the bill reduces the waiting period from three months to 90 days before the decree nisi becomes final, or "absolute." The bill also clarifies that the court retains jurisdiction to hear and decide any post-trial motions during the nisi period, and that the decree of divorce constitutes a civil judgment under the Vermont Rules of Civil Procedure.
