Michael Grabach v. Eleanor Grabach

Rutland, Vermont family law lawyers represented the parties in a divorce.

The parties were married for almost twenty years and have two daughters, who are now over eighteen. Wife obtained a master's degree in social work prior to the marriage and maintained employment in that field during the marriage, except for time off for parental leave following the children's births. Husband obtained an advanced nursing degree during the marriage. In 2011, the parties moved from Florida to New Hampshire where they both worked in their respective fields. The family relocated to Rutland, Vermont in 2014, and purchased a home. Once in Vermont, initially the parties shared childcare and parenting responsibilities equally and were both employed locally. In 2017, husband lost his position at the local hospital and began working as a traveling nurse anesthetist. He worked in temporary positions during the COVID pandemic and through 2022, traveling to New Hampshire, New York, Maine, and Washington state. Because husband was away for long periods, wife assumed the childrearing responsibilities.
