HRS §576B-312
Keeping personal information secret in special cases
If someone swears in writing that sharing their identifying details would put them or a child in danger, the court must seal that information and keep it from the other side and the public. The court can later allow disclosure if it decides that is fair after a hearing.

The statute, as written — Nondisclosure of information in exceptional circumstances
If a party alleges in an affidavit or a pleading under oath that the health, safety, or liberty of a party or child would be jeopardized by disclosure of specific identifying information, that information shall be sealed and shall not be disclosed to the other party or the public. After a hearing in which a tribunal takes into consideration the health, safety, or liberty of the party or child, the tribunal may order disclosure of information that the tribunal determines to be in the interest of justice.
