HRS §584A-701
When genetic testing can and cannot be used in parentage cases
This section says when genetic testing is allowed in a court case about who a child's parent is. It applies if a person agrees to be tested or is ordered to be tested by a court or child support agency. It also says testing cannot be used to challenge a parent already recognized under certain parts of the law, or to make a sperm or egg donor a parent.
