How to start a divorce

Grounds for Divorce

Hawaii is a no-fault state, which means that neither of the spouses is to blame for the fact that the marriage is broken. Therefore, the plaintiff does not have to provide evidence before the court of the fault of his/her spouse. To get a divorce in the state of Hawaii, one party only needs to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken. If one spouse denies an irretrievable breakdown, the court may delay the proceedings for up to 60 days and request that the couple seek counseling before granting a divorce. Couples can also request a no-fault divorce if they have lived separate and apart continuously for 2 or more years, and both agree that there’s no reasonable likelihood that they will live together as a married couple in the future.

Our smooth breakup allowed us to file for uncontested divorce and we just decided to arrange it as simply as possible. Online divorce seemed to be a good idea, and now I'm sure we did it right. All the papers were prepared with no issues and I'm pleased with the price. Thanks.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a Hawaii-based company. So that's why I used hawaiionlinedivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found hawaiionlinedivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
