HRS §576D-5
Fee for getting or enforcing a child support order when you are not on public assistance
This section says the state agency can charge a fee to people who are not getting public assistance but want help getting or enforcing a child support order. The fee must follow federal rules. If the state has collected at least $550 in support for someone who never got public assistance, the agency must charge a $35 annual fee per case, but it cannot take that fee from the first $550 collected.
