HRS §580-47.5
Notice about direct child support payment options
When you file for divorce with minor children, or start a child support case, the court or child support office must tell you that you can arrange direct child support payments instead of using the enforcement agency. You can ask the court at any time to leave that system, and your request gets fast attention.

The statute, as written — Notice to parties with children
When a party files for divorce and there are minor children involved, or when a party institutes a proceeding under chapter 576D or 576E, the court or the office of child support hearings shall provide notice to each party informing them of the opportunity to enter into an alternative arrangement for direct payment of child support under chapter 576D. A party may petition the court at any time, under chapter 576D or 576E, to opt out of the child support enforcement agency system and such a petition shall be assigned priority on the docket and be acted on expeditiously by the court.
