We assist our clients with a variety of family law issues, including:

This flexibility ensures that our clients feel completely comfortable with and confident in their choice of legal representation.
Divorce in Hawaii
Under Hawaii law, any person seeking a divorce, including foreign nationals, residents of other states, and military personnel, must have lived in Hawaii for six months prior to the divorce. Once that period has passed, anyone can file a divorce petition in family court for any reason; Hawaii law does not require you to state a reason in order to file for divorce. Additionally, only one spouse needs to file for divorce.
In an uncontested divorce, the parties agree on all of the issues; this type of divorce proceeds much more quickly, because the parties do not even have to appear in court if the judge approves the agreement. If the parties do not agree, the process takes significantly longer because the judge must decide the unresolved issues in divorce proceedings.
Division of Property and Support Orders
Once a divorce is granted, the court may also order one or both parties to support the children or the other party and divide the parties' assets and debts. The court considers any factors that would be relevant to making the decision, in addition to a list of factors defined in the statute. These factors include such considerations as: how long the marriage lasted, the financial situation of each party and each party's ability to provide the support and maintain his or her own needs, the age and physical condition of each party, each party's needs, the occupation and money-earning skills each party possesses, and the custodial and child support responsibilities of each party.
Although having an attorney is not required to proceed with a divorce, in order to ensure that your rights and property are protected throughout the process, we strongly encourage you to seek highly experienced legal counsel. Our family law attorneys are experienced in cases involving large estates and multiple children; our attorneys have the requisite knowledge and expertise to successfully represent clients in even the most complex and contentious divorce cases.
