Kevin Barrup (Marilyn Barrup, Intervenor) v. Tammy Barrup — Skoglund, J., concurring

November 7, 2014198 Vt. 25

Summary

Justice Skoglund, in a concurring opinion, cautions the Vermont Supreme Court to limit third‑party intervention in divorce proceedings, emphasizing privacy, finality, and judicial economy. She outlines specific criteria for when an intervenor may be allowed, affirming the lower court’s decision to join the husband’s mother but urging narrow application of that result.
