Haw. Rev. Stat. § 658G-10

Low income parties

Known as the Hawaii Uniform Collaborative Law Act

The act spans §§ 658G-1 to 658G-9 (22 sections).

L 2012, c 207, pt of §1

(a) The disqualification of section 658G-9(a) applies to a collaborative lawyer representing a party with or without fee.

(b) After a collaborative law process concludes, another lawyer in a law firm with which a collaborative lawyer disqualified under section 658G-9(a) is associated may represent a party without fee in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter if:

(1) The party has an annual income that qualifies the party for free legal representation under the criteria established by the law firm for free legal representation;

(2) The collaborative law participation agreement so provides; and

(3) The collaborative lawyer is isolated from any participation in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter through procedures within the law firm which are reasonably calculated to isolate the collaborative lawyer from that participation.
