No. 97-410.

721 A.2d 124 (1998)

Karen A. RODDY v. Frederick L. RODDY.

Supreme Court of Vermont.

October 2, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Pamela A. Marsh of Marsh and Associates, P.C., Middlebury, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

F. Rendol Barlow of Langrock Sperry & Wool, Middlebury, for Defendant-Appellee.

Present: AMESTOY, C.J., and DOOLEY, MORSE, JOHNSON and SKOGLUND, JJ.


AMESTOY, C.J.

Mother appeals the family court's denial of her request to establish a "maintenance supplement" under 15 V.S.A. § 661, to be paid by her former husband for the benefit of the parties' children. We affirm the family court's ruling because mother was unable to satisfy the threshold requirement of showing a "real, substantial and unanticipated change of circumstances" since the time of the parties' original divorce and child support order.
