HRS §576B-210
How this law applies to out-of-state people in support cases
This section says that when a Hawaii court has power over someone who lives outside Hawaii in a support case, it can use certain tools to get evidence, talk to other courts, and get discovery from outside the state. For everything else, Hawaii's own laws apply, not the special interstate rules.
