Divorce
Report
Our attorneys at Hamilton and Chan know how to navigate divorce. Our lawyers can carefully evaluate all your options to determine the best path forward for your unique case. The stereotypical divorce is a heated and bitter battle.
But procedurally, the vast majority (potentially as high as 95 percent) of these cases are resolved without trial - either by way of the agreement of the parties, negotiated settlement between counsel for the parties, mediation (which is favored by our courts) or by way of settlement conferences conducted by the court.

Alimony And Child Support
Report
Two of the most complicated financial aspects of divorce are alimony and child support. In general, alimony and child support arrangements are calculated and determined very differently. While alimony is becoming less popular due to the recent tax reform, child support is still a cornerstone of many divorce agreements.
Child Custody And Relocation Issues
Report
At Hamilton and Chan, our attorneys are qualified to help you reach a child custody arrangement that protects your rights and safeguards your child's best interests. While many people think of child custody as an all-out battle in court, these cases are often negotiated to an agreement without litigation.
Property Division
Report
You may think all assets and property will simply be split down the middle or that each of you get the property that is titled in your respective names, but it is more complicated than that. Hawaii, unlike many states, follows commercial partnership law when dividing the marital estate. We call it "marital partnership principles."
