FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do I have two copies of some documents?
One copy is intended as a worksheet and the other i s for your final document. Please
note that some documents only have a final copy.
Am I required to type the final document?
No, all forms may be printed clearly in black ink.
When is the divorce finished and how long will it ta ke?
Your divorce is finished when you receive a copy of the Judgment of Divorce from the court
with a judge’s signature or stamp. If you and your spouse cooperate in completing the nec-
essary papers, you should receive the Judgment of D ivorce from the court approximately
two weeks after you submit the correctly completed forms. If you are filing with children, your
divorce will not be finalized until you attend Kids First. If your spouse does not cooperate by
signing the necessary forms, you must wait at least twenty days after completion of service
before submitting your final documents. Allow an add itional two weeks for the court to pro-
cess them.
Am I required to see a judge to get a divorce?
No, if your papers are filled out correctly, the judge will grant a divorce without requiring you
to come to court. If your papers are not filled out correctly, you will be required to come to
court.
How much does it cost?
The filing fee is $175, $225 if you have children. I f you cannot afford the filing fee, you may
be eligible for a fee waiver. A fee waiver form can be obtained at the Service Center in the
courthouse, 2145 Main Street, Room 141A, Wailuku, 9 6793.
What is a certified copy?
A certified copy is a copy of a document that has th e signature of the clerk and a statement
that “This copy is a true and accurate copy of the original.” It also has a raised emblem
stamped on the form. You can tell if a copy is cert ified by feeling the form for the raised seal
which is located by the clerk’s signature.

HOW DO I
SERVE MY SPOUSE?
What does Ser vice Mean?
“Service” means delivering certain court papers to the opposing party in a legal action. The
purpose is to inform the opposing party of an upcom ing court action. In a divorce case,
the opposing party is your spouse. Proper service i s required at the beginning of every di-
vorce action because (1) it tells your spouse what is going on and (2) it gives your spouse a
chance to respond to the Court papers.
There are three methods of service.
Personal Ser vice: Use this method when you’re your spouse lives with in the
State of Hawaii.
Ser vice by Mail: Use this method when your spouse lives outside of the
State of Hawaii. You may also choose to use th us method if
your spouse lives outside the County of Maui.
Publication: Use this method when you do not know where your s pouse
lives and you are unable to find out from famil y, friends,
employers, phone directories, and other source s.
Personal Ser vice
Personal Service means the required documents are p ersonally hand delivered to your
spouse. You cannot serve your spouse yourself, but anyone else can, as long as he or she is
at least 18 years old. You can choose a reliable fr iend or relative or a civil process agent to
deliver the documents to your spouse. The Service C enter at the courthouse has a listing of
available civil process agents.
A. If you want someone you know to ser ve your spou se:
