HFCR rule 68 authorizes the family court to award attorney's fees and costs in certain types of cases to a party that extends a settlement offer if the offer is not accepted and the final judgment in its entirety is patently not more favorable to the offeree than the settlement offer.

No later than 10 days after entry of judgment the court, on its own, may order a new trial for any reason that would justify granting one on a party's motion. After giving the parties notice and an opportunity to be heard, the court may grant a timely motion for a new trial, for a reason not stated in the motion.

Rule 59(e) of the Hawai'i Family Court Rules sets forth the requirements for motions to reconsider, alter or amend a judgment or order. At the time this rule was originally promulgated, the statute required that a motion for reconsideration be filed prior to taking an appeal in a Chapter 587 case.
