HRS §584A-604
Challenging a parentage acknowledgment
This section explains who can challenge a parentage acknowledgment and when. If you signed it, special rules apply. If you didn't sign it but have legal standing, you must act within a time limit unless you show good cause, and the court must decide it's best for the child.
