HRS §572D-3
What a premarital agreement can cover
This section says that people getting married can make a premarital agreement to decide many things about their money, property, and what happens if they separate, divorce, or die. They can also agree on spousal support, life insurance, and other personal matters, as long as it is not illegal. However, the agreement cannot hurt a child's right to support.
