HRS §658J-22

How to change an award after it is confirmed

This section explains how to modify a confirmed arbitration award or judgment when new facts come up after confirmation. If the award or judgment says how to handle changes, you must use that method. If not, you can agree to arbitrate again or follow other state law for changing a family law judgment.

The statute, as written — Modification of confirmed award or judgment

If a party requests under law of this State other than this chapter a modification of an award confirmed under section 658J-16 or judgment on the award based on a fact occurring after confirmation: (1) Unless otherwise authorized under state or federal law, the parties shall proceed under the dispute-resolution method specified in the award or judgment; or (2) If the award or judgment does not specify a dispute-resolution method, the parties may: (A) Agree to arbitrate the modification before the original arbitrator or another arbitrator; or (B) Absent agreement proceed under law of this State other than this chapter governing modification of a judgment in a family law proceeding.
