Vt. Admin. Ord. Of. Sup. Ct. 1
The judiciary and the Office of Child Support (OCS) have cooperated to explore means to more efficiently provide service to defendants in cases filed where OCS is providing services under Title IV-D of the federal Social Security Act, which established a Child Support Enforcement Program. See 33 V.S.A. § 4101(a) (designating OCS as agency responsible for Title IV-D). The advent of e-filing provides an opportunity for OCS rather than the court to be responsible for service in cases where it is providing Title IV-D services, a system that potentially will effectuate service with much greater efficiency. Thus, in cases in Windham, Windsor, Caledonia, Orange, Orleans, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille, Essex, Washington, Bennington, Addison, and Rutland Units, where efiling has been implemented, OCS will be required to effect service as detailed in §§ 2 and 3.
