When Can Child Support Be Modified In Hawaii?

Child support orders are designed to meet the child’s financial needs, but these can change over time. In Hawaii, child support can be modified under specific circumstances, such as:

• Change in income: An increase or decrease in either parent’s income, such as job loss, promotion or new employment.
• Change in child’s needs: Situations like illness, educational needs or extracurricular activities.
• Cost of living adjustments: Hawaii’s cost of living can fluctuate, affecting the ability to meet child support obligations.

Our attorneys can guide you through this process by helping you meet all legal requirements and presenting the appropriate evidence.

• Parental relocation: If one parent needs to move out of state or to a distant location to adjust visitation schedules.
• Changes in the child’s environment: The child’s safety and well-being are paramount. If there are concerns about a parent’s behavior or living conditions, custody arrangements may need to be altered.
