Child custody cases seek to determine which parent should a child live with or which parent should have the rights to make decisions concerning the child. Hawaii has its own set of unique laws to decide such cases. Many states make a distinction between legal custody and physical custody.
For example, they may grant joint legal custody but sole physical custody, based on the circumstances. However, Hawaii does not have any clear definition of the term legal custody. It is generally used in the same sense as in other states to denote a parent’s right to make decisions related to the child.
If the court grants joint legal custody, then both the parents have equal rights to make decisions related to the child. However, if sole legal custody is granted, then the right to make decisions related to the child rests with the parent who has been given the custody. The other parent will not have any right to be involved in the decision making process.
