HRS §583A-108
How to give notice to people outside Hawaii
This section explains how to give legal notice to someone who is outside Hawaii in a child custody case. You can use the same methods allowed in Hawaii or in the other state. The notice must be likely to actually reach the person, but can be published if other ways don't work. You don't need to give notice if the person agrees to the court's authority.
