Free talk on divorce in Hawaii set for today

Advertiser Staff

The Hawaii Judiciary will present the free, "Divorce Law in Hawai'i" program from noon to 1 p.m. today in the Supreme Court courtroom on the second floor of Ali'iolani Hale, 417 S. King St. (behind the King Kamehameha statue).

Attorney William C. Darrah will provide an overview of Hawai'i law as it relates to custody and visitation, division of property and debt, child support, alimony, and other divorce issues. He will also talk about the steps in the legal process of divorce and the resources available to someone going through a Hawai'i divorce.

Darrah has practiced divorce law in Hawai'i for more than 30 years. A trained divorce mediator, arbitrator, and settlement master, and the editor of the Hawai'i State Bar Association's Hawai'i Divorce Manual and Journal of Hawai'i Family Law, he has taught numerous family law education programs to Hawaii's judges, lawyers and members of the public since 1979.

"Divorce Law in Hawai'i" is presented by the Judiciary on a monthly basis as a public service. For more information, contact the First Circuit Court Operations Office at 539-4448 or visit the Judiciary Website at www.courts.state.hi.us.
