There are two ways that you can obtain an uncontested divorce: 1) Your spouse signs the divorce documents. If your spouse agrees to all the issues in your divorce, they can simply sign specific divorce forms that let the court know that they agree to the divorce. 2) Your spouse does not do anything about the divorce.

Generally, divorce documents are part of the public record unless there are specific reasons to seal them.

Hawaii court records contain public information about criminal and civil cases filed in criminal, district, and circuit courts, as well as from courts that address special matters, such as land use, tax appeals, and family law matters (e.g. estate probate, divorce, births, marriages, and deaths).

To proceed, you or your attorney must fill out forms and file them with Family Court. Please refer to the instructions and checklist in the divorce self-help packet before filing for divorce. The divorce self-help packet may be obtained at Ho`okele, the Family Court Service Center, or may be downloaded.

The divorce is effective after the Divorce Decree has been approved and signed by the judge and the Divorce Decree has been filed-stamped by the court. Some of the things that must be settled during divorce proceedings are: Who will have custody of the children? Who will have visitation?
