How do you establish paternity in Hawaii?

This process began in Hawaii on July 1, 1999. If the biological parents complete the Voluntary Establishment of Paternity by Parents form at the birthing hospital or Department of Health and the fathers name appears on the birth certificate, then paternity has been Voluntarily Established.

Is Hawaii a mom or dad state?

Hawaii, much like other states, follows the best interests of the child standard when determining child custody, which means there is no legal preference for custody toward the mother or the father.

What does it mean to establish paternity?

If paternity is established, the court will enter an order regarding the fathers paternity, and the father may be required to pay child support. The court order will also direct the state agency for vital statistics to add the fathers name to the childs birth certificate.

How much does a paternity test cost in Hawaii?

Non-legal relationship DNA tests are $320 for each test. Home relationship DNA test kits are $275 for each test (sibling, grandparent, uncle/aunt).

What happens after you establish paternity?

Under the Hawaii Family Leave Law and rules, an employee may be eligible for up to four (4) weeks of unpaid family leave each calendar year for the birth or adoption of a child, or to care for his / her child, spouse, reciprocal beneficiary, or parent with a serious health condition.
