HRS §571-55
Swearing under penalty of perjury in family court
In family court, if you need to give testimony, a declaration, a deposition, a certification, or a pleading under oath, you can do it by signing under penalty of perjury instead of taking a formal oath. The court will tell you the exact form to use.
