The Hawaii State family courts are the family courts in the state court system of Hawaii
They have exclusive jurisdiction[citation needed] over cases involving legal minors, such as juvenile delinquency, status offenses, abuse and neglect, termination of parental rights, adoption, guardianships and detention among others.[1] The family courts also oversee cases of domestic relations involving divorce, child support, and custody matters.[1]
The family courts are not constituted as separate courts with their own judges. Judges of the circuit courts and district courts sit as family court judges.
