Vermont H0629 modifies jurisdiction over Family Division judgments, requiring renewal motions within eight years.

Vermont H0629 amends the Family Division of the Superior Court's jurisdiction over judgments, specifying that actions on such judgments must be brought in the Civil Division within eight years. The bill mandates that renewal of a Family Division judgment for money or property must be initiated by a motion to renew within eight years after the judgment's rendition or when the last payment or action required is due, whichever is later. The Family Division retains exclusive jurisdiction over these actions, and any payment or compliance action by the obligor restarts the eight-year limitation.
