The Vermont Affidavit in Support of Relief from Abuse Complaint for Child is a legal document filed in the Vermont Court, used to protect a child from abuse. It is an affidavit sworn by a parent, guardian, or other person responsible for the care of a child, asserting that the child is in danger of abuse and seeking court-ordered relief to protect the child from further harm. The affidavit typically includes facts about the child, the person filing the affidavit, the person accused of abuse, and details of the abuse, including any physical or emotional harm. It may also include a request for any or all of the following: a restraining order, child support, supervised visitation, or a change of custody. There are two types of Vermont Affidavit in Support of Relief from Abuse Complaint for Child: the Emergency Affidavit and the Regular Affidavit. The Emergency Affidavit is filed with the court to seek emergency protection for a child who is in imminent danger of abuse. The Regular Affidavit is filed when there is no immediate danger, but the child is in need of protection from abuse.
