HRS §583A-304
Temporary enforcement of another state's visitation order
A Hawaii court without power to change another state's child visitation order can still temporarily enforce that order. If the other state's order has no specific schedule, the court can set one, but must include a time limit. The temporary order ends when the other court acts or the time limit runs out.

The statute, as written — Temporary visitation
(a) A court of this State which does not have jurisdiction to modify a child-custody determination, may issue a temporary order enforcing: (1) A visitation schedule made by a court of another state; or (2) The visitation provisions of a child-custody determination of another state that does not provide for a specific visitation schedule. (b) If a court of this State makes an order under subsection (a)(2), it shall specify in the order a period that it considers adequate to allow the petitioner to obtain an order from a court having jurisdiction under the criteria specified in part II. The order remains in effect until an order is obtained from the other court or the period expires.
