Case Notes

Order adjudging paternity but reserving child support, custody, and other matters is not final and appealable. 5 H. App. 610, 704 P.2d 940.

In determining support award, court should not rely on only one or two factors to exclusion of others. Court abused its discretion in making child support award. 6 H. App. 629, 736 P.2d 448.

Assuming arguendo that §571-52.5 and this section embrace the same subject matter, it cannot be said as a matter of statutory construction that the former ousts the latter in the matter of past child support; subsection (d) affords the court discretion to limit past child support to a proportion of the expenses already incurred on behalf of the child that it deems just. 98 H. 58 (App.), 41 P.3d 720.

Mentioned: 85 H. 108 (App.), 937 P.2d 949.
