HRS §586-10.5
Reporting child abuse or neglect in restraining order cases
This section says that when a restraining order case involves a minor or incapacitated person and child abuse or neglect is alleged, the court must report it to the Department of Human Services. The Department must send a written report back, and the court must share it with both sides before the hearing, or at the hearing if mailing isn't possible.
