For dads
A father's responsibility in Vermont
Must the father help pay for the pregnancy? No. No Vermont statute was found that makes the father pay pregnancy or birth expenses or child support before birth; support is ordered under the child support guidelines once parentage is established.
15C V.S.A. chs. 1-8 (Vermont Parentage Act, 2017 No. 162 (Adj. Sess.)); 15C V.S.A. § 111 (interim and final support orders under 15 V.S.A. § 654)
Vermont Department for Children and Families – Office of Child Support (OCS): establish paternity and support
