HB 792 Hawaii House · 2021 Regular Session

RELATING TO FAMILY COURTS.

Summary
Amends the criteria and procedures used by family courts in determining child custody and visitation rights. Addresses the considerations and factors a family court shall consider in determining custody or visitation if one parent has a felony conviction for a violent or sexual offense in which the victim was a minor, is required to register as a sex offender, or has been convicted of murdering the other parent. Requires the family court to state its reasons in writing or on the record when it finds there is no risk to the child's health, safety, and welfare. Prohibits the family court from disclosing the custodial parent's place of residence, place of employment, or the child's school unless disclosure is in the child's best interests.
