HRS §571-52.7
Getting costs and lawyer fees for enforcing child support
If you go to court to enforce a child support order and you win, the judge can order the other side to pay your court costs and reasonable lawyer fees. This only happens if you had a lawyer. The judge decides whether to award them.

The statute, as written — Award of costs and reasonable attorneys' fees
Whenever a party files a motion seeking to enforce a child support order, the court may award the prevailing party the party's costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred, except as this chapter otherwise provides. The award shall be made only when the prevailing party was represented by an attorney.
