HRS §633-33
Court can question a wage judgment debtor about finances
If a court orders someone to pay wages or pay for personal services and they do not pay, the winner can ask the court to make the loser come in for questioning. This happens once a week for up to four weeks. The court can then set a fair payment plan.

The statute, as written — Judgment for wages; oral examination; payment
When a judgment in an action pursuant to this chapter is founded in whole or in part on a claim for wages or personal services, the court, upon motion of the party obtaining judgment, shall order the appearance of the party against whom the judgment has been entered but not more often than once each week for four consecutive weeks, for oral examination under oath as to the financial status of the party against whom the judgment has been entered and that party's ability to pay the judgment, and the court shall make supplementary orders as seems just and proper to effectuate the payment of the judgment upon reasonable terms.
