Honolulu County Divorce FAQs

What is the residency requirement to file for divorce in Hawaii?

At least one spouse must have lived in Hawaii for 6 months before filing for divorce. This requirement is set by state law and applies throughout the state, including Honolulu County.

Is there a waiting period for divorce in Hawaii?

Hawaii does not impose a mandatory waiting period before a divorce can be finalized. Actual timelines in Honolulu County still depend on the court's caseload and how the case proceeds.

How much does it cost to file for divorce in Honolulu County?

The court filing fee for a divorce in Hawaii is $215–$265. Fee waivers may be available for filers who cannot afford the fee — ask the court clerk about the waiver process. Beyond the filing fee, the median total cost of an uncontested divorce in Hawaii is about $2,200 (2023 data).

Does Hawaii allow no-fault divorce?

Yes. Hawaii is a pure no-fault jurisdiction — neither spouse needs to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce.

How is property divided in a Hawaii divorce?

Hawaii uses equitable distribution: marital property is divided based on what the court finds fair in the circumstances of each case, which is not always an equal split.
