Divorce Papers

The spouse filing for divorce must have been present in Hawaii for 3 months. However, a final divorce will not be granted unless one spouse has been a resident for 6 months. The divorce should be filed in either: 1) the judicial district where the plaintiff resides; or 2) the judicial district where the spouses last lived together. [Hawaii Revised Statutes; Title 580, Chapter 1].

These are the grounds for no-fault divorce in Hawaii: 1) Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage; and 2) living separate and apart without cohabitation for 2 years and it would not be harsh or oppressive to the defendant spouse to grant the divorce. [Hawaii Revised Statutes; Title 580, Chapter 41].
