HRS §584A-605
Challenging a parentage decision
This section explains who can challenge a court's decision about who is a parent. If you were part of the case, you must follow the usual rules for attacking a judgment. If you weren't, you have two years to challenge, unless you have a good reason, and the court must consider the child's best interest.

The statute, as written — Adjudicating parentage of child with adjudicated parent
(a) If a child has an adjudicated parent, a proceeding to challenge the adjudication, brought by an individual who was a party to the adjudication or received notice under section 584A-201, shall be governed by the rules governing a collateral attack on a judgment. (b) If a child has an adjudicated parent, the following rules shall apply to a proceeding to challenge the adjudication of parentage brought by an individual, other than the child, who has standing under section 584A-203 and was not a party to the adjudication and did not receive notice under section 584A-201: (1) The individual shall commence the proceeding no later than two years after the effective date of the adjudication, unless good cause is shown; (2) The court may permit the proceeding only if the court finds permitting the proceeding is in the best interest of the child pursuant to section 571-46(b); and (3) If the court permits the proceeding, the court shall adjudicate parentage under section 584A-607.
