HRS §586-9
Changing a protection order
A court can change a protection order if someone asks, everyone is told, and a hearing is held. The court can refuse to hear a request to dismiss or change the order if the request doesn't show a big change in the situation since the order was made or last changed.

The statute, as written — Modification of order
Upon application, notice to all parties, and hearing, the court may modify the terms of an existing order for protection. The court may deny, without hearing, a motion to dismiss or to modify the terms of an existing order for protection if the motion, on its face, does not allege facts sufficient to establish a material change in the circumstances of the parties since the issuance or last modification of the order.
