There is currently an internet outage impacting hearings in the Chittenden Family division. Some hearings scheduled for today, Thursday, July 11, may need to be canceled and rescheduled. Court staff are aware of the issue and are working on a solution, but there is currently no estimated time frame for a fix.

As of May 23rd, email addresses for Judiciary staff, judges, justices and Vermont state courts have migrated to email addresses ending in “@vtcourts.gov”. Emails sent to state courts, Judiciary offices, and to state court personnel at their old @vermont.gov email addresses are no longer forwarding to the new @vtcourts.gov email addresses. Please note this change and update records accordingly.
