Custody & visitation provisions in an Order For Protection are temporary only

|

M.N. v. A.N. (TRO)
Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals (SDO)
June 20, 2017

Stipulated custody and visitation orders contained in an Order for Protection are temporary orders, under HRS 586-5.5, subject to modification later in the appropriate custody matter (divorce or paternity). A party seeking to vacate an Order for Protection, will not find relief via a claim for breach of contract.

“… even if the parties contemplated visitation rights as being part of the Order for Protection, HRS 586-5.5 clearly establishes that such rights would
be temporary.”
