Supreme Court of Vermont

Jennifer Townsend v. Cody Townsend

July 17, 20262026 VT 32

Summary

The Vermont Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s denial of the plaintiff’s motion to extend a relief‑from‑abuse (RFA) order, holding that probation conditions do not substitute for an RFA order because the two serve different purposes; the case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with that ruling.
