How courts handle requests to change earlier orders
When someone asks the court to change a previous order in a child's case, the court does not have to start over with a new trial. Instead, it can hold a hearing if needed and then make a new decision based on what is best for the child.

The statute, as written — Motions to vacate or modify prior orders brought or decided upon pursuant to rule 59, Hawaii family court rules
In considering a party's motion to vacate or modify prior orders brought or decided upon pursuant to rule 59, Hawaii family court rules, the court need not commence a trial or hearing de novo, but rather, after such further hearing as the court deems to be appropriate, may proceed to enter such orders as are in the best interests of the child.
