How to File for Divorce in Hawaii?

Follow these guidelines to know how to divorce your spouse in the state of Hawaii:

1. Complete a divorce complaint and the summons to get a formal response from the other spouse. The family court where you are filing the paperwork will also need to know the personal details of the spouses and their employment status.
2. Note that the procedure slightly differs if you have children together with your partner - it is obligatory to fill out the papers outlining the child care, custody, and visitation. Later you will also be referred to the program all divorcing parents must attend in order to facilitate the aftermath of the divorce for the kids.
3. Prepare written statements that describe your assets and debts and specify how you will be able to take care of the children financially. Once all these particulars are agreed upon, you may offer your spouse to reach a mutual understanding in regard to the Hawaii Divorce Agreement - the provisions you include in that instrument have to be reflected in the divorce decree.
4. Notify the spouse about the divorce - you may do it personally, via mail, or with the help of a professional server. The recipient of the documentation listed above will have twenty days to submit a comprehensive answer to the court. The judge will decide if the hearing is necessary to clarify certain issues and concerns or simply certify the decree you have filed confirming the marriage is dissolved.
