  §575-2 Prima facie evidence; sequestration of money for support of spouse or children. The absence of any spouse or parent from the other spouse or child or children under the age of sixteen for a continuous period of three months or more without first making suitable provision for the support and maintenance of such spouse, child, or children shall be prima facie evidence of desertion and wilful neglect. In such case, and where it is known that such spouse or parent has money in the possession of a third party, the complaint, made under section 575-3, shall allege the continuous absence by the spouse or parent and the name of the third party possessing the money. The court in which the complaint is filed shall issue an order to the third party possessing the money to appear before it to show cause why the money shall not be applied to the maintenance and support of the spouse, the child, or children.  If, after a hearing for that purpose, the court is satisfied that there has been a continuous absence by the spouse or parent and a failure by the spouse or parent to make suitable provision for maintenance and support, and that there is money in the possession of the third party belonging to the spouse or parent, it shall make an order upon the third party to apply the money in the sum or sums in the manner and at the time or times as it may determine for the support and maintenance of the spouse or the child or children; provided that no order to apply the money shall be made unless a copy of the order to show cause is served upon the spouse or parent prior to the hearing; provided further that if the spouse or parent cannot be found, the order to show cause shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation and for the time as shall be designated by the order of the court.

(a) In a proceeding to establish or enforce a support order or to determine parentage of a child, a tribunal of this State may exercise personal jurisdiction over a nonresident individual or the individual's guardian or conservator if:  (1) The individual is personally served with summons or notice within this State;  (2) The individual submits to the jurisdiction of this State by consent in a record, by entering a general appearance, or by filing a responsive document having the effect of waiving any contest to personal jurisdiction;  (3) The individual resided with the child in this State;  (4) The individual resided in this State and provided prenatal expenses or support for the child;  (5) The child resides in this State as a result of the acts or directives of the individual;  (6) The individual engaged in sexual intercourse in this State and the child may have been conceived by that act of intercourse;  (7) The individual asserted parentage of the child in the office of health status monitoring maintained in this State by the department of health; or  (8) There is any other basis consistent with the constitutions of this State and the United States for the exercise of personal jurisdiction.  (b) The bases of personal jurisdiction set forth in subsection (a) or in any other law of this State may not be used to acquire personal jurisdiction for a tribunal of this State to modify a child support order of another state unless the requirements of section 576B-611 are met, or in the case of a foreign support order, unless the requirements of section 576B-615 are met. [L 1997, c 295, pt of §1; am L 2015, c 77, pt of §1] Case Notes  As Hawaii retains its continuing jurisdiction to enforce a child support order as long as the order has not been modified by a tribunal of another state pursuant to chapter 576B or a law substantially similar to it, this section authorized the family court to enforce the child support order even though the father, mother, and children were no longer residents of this State. 98 H. 168 (App.), 45 P.3d 368 (2002).  Where family court had neither general nor specific jurisdiction over father, court erred in entering default judgment against father in mother's child support action. 110 H. 294 (App.), 132 P.3d 862 (2006).

  §576B-205 Continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify child support order. (a) A tribunal of this State that has issued a child support order consistent with the law of this State has and shall exercise continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify its child support order if the order is the controlling order and:  (1) At the time of the filing of a request for modification this State is the residence of the obligor, the individual obligee, or the child for whose benefit the support order is issued; or  (2) Even if this State is not the residence of the obligor, the individual obligee, or the child for whose benefit the support order is issued, the parties consent in a record or in open court that the tribunal of this State may continue to exercise jurisdiction to modify its order.  (b) A tribunal of this State that has issued a child support order consistent with the law of this State may not exercise continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify the order if:  (1) All of the parties who are individuals file consent in a record with the tribunal of this State that a tribunal of another state that has jurisdiction over at least one of the parties who is an individual or that is located in the state of residence of the child may modify the order and assume continuing, exclusive jurisdiction; or  (2) Its order is not the controlling order.  (c) If a tribunal of another state has issued a child support order pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act or a law substantially similar to that Act that modifies a child support order of a tribunal of this State, tribunals of this State shall recognize the continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of the tribunal of the other state.  (d) A tribunal of this State that lacks continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify a child support order may serve as an initiating tribunal to request a tribunal of another state to modify a support order issued in that state.  (e) A temporary support order issued ex parte or pending resolution of a jurisdictional conflict does not create continuing, exclusive jurisdiction in the issuing tribunal. [L 1997, c 295, pt of §1; am L 2015, c 77, pt of §1] Case Notes  Where New Mexico had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over its spousal support order, New Mexico could act as a responding tribunal to enforce or modify its order; husband and wife were subject to the continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of New Mexico notwithstanding the fact that neither resided in New Mexico; because Hawaii lacked continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over New Mexico's spousal support order, Hawaii could not serve as a responding tribunal to modify New Mexico's spousal support order, but could enforce it. 111 H. 51 (App.), 137 P.3d 365 (2006).

(b) A tribunal of this State having continuing jurisdiction over a support order may act as a responding tribunal to enforce the order.
