Vermont’s divorce professionals, verified.

Vermont attorneys in good standing and mediators on the Judiciary’s own Family Mediation Program roster. CDFAs and therapists aren’t listed — Vermont’s therapist license lookup can’t be checked from outside a browser. More below.

Every professional below is currently at the Listed tier: credentials independently verified from an official Vermont source, automatically included whether they’ve opted into The Cusp or not — the same way a bar association directory works. Nobody here has paid for placement, and none of them have published pricing or been reviewed yet.

What “verified” means on this page

Not every check is the same check, and most directories hide that. Every listing below says which kind it was, and the date we did it — because a license check is a photograph, not a guarantee. Somebody confirmed in August can be suspended in September.

  • State registerChecked against the state’s own licensing, court or bar record.
  • Issuing bodyChecked against the organization that grants this credential — authoritative for the credential, but it is their own list.
  • Membership listingA membership directory. Joining is voluntary, and this is not a license check.
  • Self-reportedTaken from this person’s own website. Nobody independent confirmed it, and we are re-checking these against an official register.
  • Source linkedChecked against the source linked, which is not a state register.

Nobody paid to be listed here, and nobody can. Listings are not for sale, and no professional on this page has paid us anything to appear on it or to appear higher on it. If we are ever paid in connection with anyone listed here, it will say so on this page, next to that listing. Most of these were confirmed against a state register. A small number were not, and rather than quietly presenting those as equivalent, they are marked and we are re-checking them.

Not included yet. Mediators: Worth being precise about what this credential is. Vermont does not license or certify mediators. Everyone above is on the Vermont Judiciary’s own Family Mediation Program roster — a court program, published by the court, which is about as official as Vermont gets — but roster membership is not a state license and we won’t imply otherwise.

Not included yet. Therapists: No Vermont therapists are listed. The state’s mental-health licenses can only be checked through a lookup that works exclusively in a full graphical browser; attempts to reach it programmatically were bounced to a login screen. Vermont also publishes no downloadable license file for these professions — its open-data portal carries electricians and plumbers only. We won’t substitute the federal provider registry, because being in it isn’t proof of a current Vermont license.

Not included yet. CDFAs: No Vermont CDFAs could be confirmed. IDFA’s tools sit behind a "prove you’re human" check we don’t work around. We checked IDFA’s sitemap and ran targeted searches; the only Vermont-based profile that surfaced lists a CFP designation, not CDFA.

Not included yet. Attorneys: Verified against the Judiciary’s official "Attorneys in Good Standing" report dated 1 August 2026 — a genuine state record, and recent. That report confirms license and standing but not practice area, so the family-law focus comes from each firm’s own site.

Know someone in Vermont who needs this?

Sending one person a straight answer about money is more useful than most advice. Nothing here asks for their real name, and nobody finds out they looked.

Before you pay anyone

Everybody on this page charges for their time. If money is the constraint — and for most people reading this it is — these two come first, and we earn nothing from either.

What this means. This is when the sources on this page were last read against their originals — statutes, court rules, official schedules — taken from the dates recorded against the individual citations on this page. It is not the date the page was last edited. Adding a link or fixing a typo does not move it; re-reading the statute does. Where we get something wrong we publish it at thecusp.app/corrections with the date, what changed, and how long the error was live.
