Like most legal proceedings, you must pay court filing fees to begin your divorce. As of 2022, Hawaii's combined filing fees for divorce without children are $215. If you have minor children, you'll also need to pay a parent education surcharge of $50, bringing the total filing fees to $265.

The request must be made in writing and the requestor must have completed an application for CSEA services. Both methods require that the requestor provide the reason for the request including the change in circumstances from the time the last order was entered, if the order is less than three (3) years old.

Modification of Child Custody If only one parent is pushing for a change in custody, the process is more difficult. To begin, they will have to file a request with the court. During this process, the parent proposing a change must: Provide proof that the change would be beneficial for the child.

To amend an agreement, you should begin by filing a petition for modification with your local court. The petition may ask for information such as your contact info, your former spouse's contact info, case number, and judge who granted your divorce.
