Uniform Parentage Act
Hawaii · 584A · §§ 584A-101 to 584A-917 · 65 sections
Overview
The act governs the legal relationship between parents and children, providing a framework for establishing maternity and paternity and defining the rights and obligations that follow from that relationship. It sets out court procedures for parentage actions — jurisdiction and venue, appointment of counsel and representation of minors, genetic testing and other evidence, and appeals — alongside presumptions of paternity and rules addressing artificial insemination and children born outside marriage. It also establishes a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity process, including hospital-based programs, standardized forms, and procedures for rescinding or later challenging an acknowledgment, and it provides for support orders and their enforcement, the issuance of new birth certificates, confidentiality of records, and recognition of parentage determinations made elsewhere.
