2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 31. Family|571. Family Courts|571-48.6 Earned discharge from probation; reporting requirements.

  §571-48.6 Earned discharge from probation; reporting requirements. (a) A child placed on probation pursuant to section 571-48(1)(A) shall be eligible to receive earned discharge credits to reduce the length of the probation term. Earned discharge credits shall reduce the term of probation by thirty days for each calendar month of compliance with the rules and conditions of probation.  (b) A child is deemed to be compliant with the rules and conditions of probation, and shall be awarded earned discharge credits for the month, if there was no violation of rules and conditions of probation that month at a level that would warrant the filing of a petition or violation report. The court, at the request of the probation officer or on its own motion, may award discharge credits to children who have demonstrated substantial compliance with the rules and conditions of probation.  (c) The judiciary shall adopt guidelines and procedures for the awarding of earned credits for discharge from probation.  (d) Each administrator of the juvenile client services branch in each judicial circuit shall annually provide to the board of family court judges and the Hawaii juvenile justice state advisory council, the number and per cent of youth who received earned discharge credits and the number of credits earned by each youth.

HI Rev Stat § 571-51 (2021)
2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 31. Family|571. Family Courts|571-51 Support of minor committed for study or care.

  §571-51 Support of minor committed for study or care. Whenever legal custody of a minor is given by the court to someone other than the minor's parents, or when a minor is given medical, psychological, or psychiatric study or treatment under order of the court, and no provision is otherwise made by law for the support of the minor or for payment for such treatment, compensation for the study and treatment of the minor, when approved by order of the court, shall, if necessary, be paid out of such moneys as may be appropriated for the expenses of the court. After giving the parent a reasonable opportunity to be heard, the court may order and decree that the parent shall pay, in such manner as the court may direct, a reasonable sum that will cover in whole or in part the support and treatment of the minor given after the decree is entered. If the parent wilfully fails or refuses to pay such sum, the court may proceed against the parent as for contempt, or the order may be filed and shall have the effect of a civil judgment.  Compensation may be made to a nongovernmental agency, provided that it shall make periodic reports to the court or to an agency designated by the court concerning the care and treatment the minor is receiving and the minor's response to such treatment. These reports shall be made as frequently as the court deems necessary and shall be made with respect to every such minor at intervals not exceeding six months. The agency shall also afford an opportunity for a representative of the court or of an agency designated by the court to visit, examine, or consult with the minor as frequently as the court deems necessary.

  §571-52.3 Immediate income withholding. In any case where child support is an issue, and an order for child support is established or modified, and the obligor receives income on a periodic basis, the court shall concurrently enter an order for immediate income withholding which shall operate as an assignment by the person to the child support enforcement agency for the benefit of the child of such amounts at such times as may be specified in the support order. Such order may also include child support arrears and reimbursement of debt pursuant to section 346-37.1. The provisions of section 571-52.2(d), (e), (f), (g), (l), (m), and (n) shall apply to all orders for immediate income withholding issued under this section. [L 1988, c 200, §2; am L 1990, c 152, §2] Case Notes  Impracticality did not excuse father from income withholding under this section. 82 H. 543 (App.), 923 P.2d 960 (1996).
HI Rev Stat § 571-52.5 (2021)
2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 31. Family|571. Family Courts|571-52.5 Guidelines to determine child support amounts.

  §571-52.5 Guidelines to determine child support amounts. When the court establishes or modifies the amount of child support required to be paid by a parent, the court shall use the guidelines established under section 576D-7, except when exceptional circumstances warrant departure. [L 1986, c 332, pt of §4] Case Notes  Agreement to pay all post-high school education expenses is not an exceptional circumstance allowing lower child support payment than specified in guidelines; guidelines do not take precedence over the parties' agreement to pay more than the guidelines specify, but they do take precedence over the parties' agreements to pay less. 7 H. App. 221, 751 P.2d 93 (1988).  Whether facts constitute exceptional circumstances is a question of law. 7 H. App. 345, 764 P.2d 1250 (1988).  Neither expenses for a second vehicle nor preschool expenses of another child of non-custodial obligor parent supported a finding of exceptional circumstance. 88 H. 456 (App.), 967 P.2d 653 (1998).  Assuming arguendo that this section and §584-15 embrace the same subject matter, it cannot be said as a matter of statutory construction that this section ousts §584-15 in the matter of past child support; §584-15(d) affords the court discretion to limit past child support to a proportion of the expenses already incurred on behalf of the child that it deems just. 98 H. 58 (App.), 41 P.3d 720 (2001).  With the consent of the payor-parent, the family court is authorized to enter an order barring the payor-parent, for a period of three years, from seeking a reduction in court-ordered child support. 101 H. 37 (App.), 61 P.3d 548 (2002).  Family court was not authorized to delegate to the child support enforcement agency the duty of deciding the dollar amount of child support to be paid. 112 H. 225 (App.), 145 P.3d 768 (2006).  Where family court clearly erred in its calculation of both parents' monthly gross incomes, the resulting child support award was clearly erroneous. 134 H. 431 (App.), 341 P.3d 1231 (2014).

  §571-52.6 Child support order, judgment, or decree; accident and health or sickness insurance coverage. Each order, judgment, or decree under this chapter or chapter 576B, 580, or 584 ordering a person to pay child support shall include the following provisions:  (1) Both the obligor and the obligee are required to file with the state case registry, through the child support enforcement agency, upon entry of the child support order and to update as appropriate, information on the identity and location of the party, including social security number, residential and mailing addresses, telephone number, driver's license number if different from social security number, and name, address, and telephone number of the party's employer; and  (2) The liability of that person for accident and health or sickness insurance coverage when available at reasonable cost.

  §571-52.7 Award of costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. Whenever a party files a motion seeking to enforce a child support order, the court may award the prevailing party the party's costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred, except as this chapter otherwise provides. The award shall be made only when the prevailing party was represented by an attorney. [L 1994, c 247, §1] Case Notes  Family court erred in limiting plaintiff ex-wife's award of attorney's fees to a lodestar amount with no consideration given to a contingent fee enhancement; this section is a fee-shifting statute designed to "attract competent counsel" and a contingent fee enhancement should have at least been considered by the family court. 97 H. 160 (App.), 34 P.3d 1059 (2001).

  §571-62 Hearing; investigation and report. Every petition under section 571-61 shall be filed in duplicate and the clerk of the court in which the same is filed shall immediately forward a copy of the petition, and of the notice of the time and place of the hearing thereof, to the director of the department of human services. The director shall be permitted to appear and be heard at any such hearing on behalf of the petitioner or the child or minor or the State and shall have the same right of appeal as any party to the proceeding. The attorney general shall, at the request of the director, represent and defend the interests of the department in any such proceeding. Upon the request of any petitioning parent or parents or upon the request of the department of human services, any child-placing organization, approved by the department under section 346-17, shall be permitted to appear together with or in place of the department.  If any petitioner or the department or any such child-placing organization approved by the department or any parent whose rights are sought to be terminated requests of the court a continuance of the hearing for the purpose of permitting an objective investigation of the circumstances of the minor and the parent or parents concerned, no judgment of termination shall be entered prior to the expiration of thirty days from the date of the request or until the earlier date of the filing of a report of the investigation. If the petition has been filed by or at the request of the department of human services or any such child-placing organization, or, in the event that a continuance has been requested as above provided, the department of human services shall prepare or procure and file in the termination proceeding a report of the facts disclosed as a result of investigation of the circumstances of the minor and the parent or parents whose rights are sought to be terminated. The court may, for good cause, grant extensions of the time within which such report must be filed. Any such report shall be incorporated in the record of the proceeding and shall be considered by the court in determining the issues presented by the petition. The court may, if it deems such action necessary, appoint a guardian ad litem to represent and defend the interests of the child or minor or of any minor parent.

If it appears upon conclusion of the investigation that the minor does come within such provisions, the minor may be counseled and released, and follow-up counseling provided or the minor may be referred to the family court or to a proper agency for treatment, and a written report of the findings of the officer shall be submitted to the court or agency.

Any adult found in contempt of court may be punished as provided by law.  (b) When a court of competent jurisdiction issues an order compelling a parent to furnish support, including child support, medical support, or other remedial care, for the parent's child, it shall constitute prima facie evidence of a civil contempt of court upon proof that:  (1) The order was made, filed, and served on the parent or proof that the parent was present in court at the time the order was pronounced; and  (2) The parent did not comply with the order. An order of civil contempt of court based on prima facie evidence under this subsection shall clearly state that the failure to comply with the order of civil contempt of court may subject the parent to a penalty that may include imprisonment or, if imprisonment is immediately ordered, the conditions that must be met for release from imprisonment.
