The Vermont court grants divorces on one of two grounds: no-fault, when a married person has lived apart from his or her spouse for six consecutive months and the court finds that the resumption of marital relations is not reasonably probable, and on fault grounds that include adultery by either party, incarceration when either party is sentenced to confinement at hard labor in prison for life, or for three years or more, intolerable severity in either party, desertion or when either party has been absent for seven years and not heard of during that time, neglect, on complaint of either party when one spouse has sufficient pecuniary or physical ability to provide suitable maintenance for the other and, without cause, persistently refuses or neglects to do so, and incurable insanity of either party.
