HI Custody edits

August 2025

To prepare our Hawai‘i Custody section for translation into Spanish, we revised 16 questions for clarity and accuracy and we created two new questions, What are “residual parental rights and responsibilities”? and What does “meaningful contact” mean?

We also added one new statute related to custody to our Selected Hawai‘i Statutes page.
