An act relating to judgments issued by the Family Division of the Superior Court

This bill changes how money and property judgments from Vermont's Family Division (e.g., child support, alimony, or property division orders) can be enforced after the initial 8-year period. It requires renewal via a "motion to renew" filed within 8 years (or until the last payment is due), not by starting a new civil lawsuit. Payments, written debt acknowledgments, or other compliance actions by the person owing money restart the 8-year clock. All such judgments must now include a clear warning: "RENEWAL... SHALL BE INITIATED BY MOTION TO RENEW WITHIN EIGHT YEARS... OR IT SHALL BE TIME BARRED." It directly affects individuals with ongoing family court judgments seeking enforcement.
