Miller v. Smith
Vermont Supreme Court
989 A.2d 537 (2009)
- Written by Brittany Frankel, JD
Facts
Karen Smith (plaintiff) and Lawrence Miller (defendant) were the divorced parents of B.S., a six-year-old little girl. Smith had sole legal and physical custody of B.S. Smith and Miller were unable to resolve their disputes amicably regarding Miller’s visitation with B.S. Smith filed a motion requesting that the trial court order Lawrence to transport B.S. to B.S.’s gymnastics lessons, which were scheduled during Smith’s visitation time. However, the trial court denied Smith’s motion and declined to referee Miller’s visitation time. Smith’s appealed.
