§ 4101. Office of Child Support; designation as IV-D agency; legislative purpose
(a) The Office of Child Support in the Agency of Human Services shall be designated the
IV-D agency for purposes of Title IV-D of the federal Social Security Act.
(b) The paramount interest of the State of Vermont is the welfare of its children. The
establishment and enforcement of family support obligations is therefore an important
function in this regard. The Office of Child Support in carrying out its responsibility
shall be guided by the best interests of the child, but not the economic interests
exclusively in an action for child support. (Added 1989, No. 221 (Adj. Sess.), § 13; amended 1993, No. 105, § 7.)
