Modifying Child Custody Orders in Hawaii

When it comes to determining the best interests of a child in a relocation case, a judge may in some cases grant longer visitation with the non-custodial parent as well as online communication privileges, while in other cases the court may award primary physical custody to the parent who is staying in Hawaii. There is a broad range of options available to the family court, but what remains the same are factors considered in determining what is best for the child.

Some of the factors that go into determining a child's best interests include:

The relationship the child has with each parent
The relationship the child has with sibling
The child's physical, emotional, and schooling needs
Each parent's fitness and any history of abuse
The wishes of the child (when old enough)

“Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
I can't express enough on how thankful I am to have found Atty Sturdivant and his Legal Assistant, Sarena. They helped me tremendously get through a process that I never thought I could have overcome - a divorce. They made this a very smooth and painless process. As a result, I am relieved. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

“Did a great job of being a friend as well as attorney.”
I went thru an extremely painful divorce. One I never saw coming, and one I never wanted to happen. Justin was there to guide me and advise me when needed. Always available to see me, or talk on the phone when I had questions. Sad as the situation was, Justin seemed to feel what I was going thru and did a great job of being a friend as well as attorney. His fee was very fair, and I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with these issues.

“I felt like he was straight with me, both good and bad, unlike other lawyers I've met with.”
Justin Sturdivant met with me personally and took the time to answer my questions. I felt like he was straight with me, both good and bad, unlike other lawyers I've met with. If I have to go forward with my divorce I'll be going with Mr. Sturdivant.

- Johnny
“He not only gave me a fair and equitable retainer fee, he got the results I was looking for.”
I contacted Justin when I was in need of an attorney and he was exactly what I needed. He not only gave me a fair and equitable retainer fee, he got the results I was looking for in less time than I had personally allocated for when I originally encountered the issue. I was not only satisfied but ecstatic, I would use him for all my issues from here on forward, should I have any.
