HRS §576B-614

Notice to issuing tribunal of modification

This section says that when a child support order is changed, the person who got the change must send a certified copy to the court that made the old order and to any court where the old order was registered. If they don't, they may face court penalties, but the new order is still valid.

The statute, as written — Notice to issuing tribunal of modification

Within thirty days after issuance of a modified child support order, the party obtaining the modification shall file a certified copy of the order with the issuing tribunal that had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the earlier order, and in each tribunal in which the party knows the earlier order has been registered. A party who obtains the order and fails to file a certified copy is subject to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to file arises. The failure to file shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the modified order of the new tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.
