Turning Eighteen, and What Parents Owe
HRS 577-1 — legal age at eighteen, and a parent's duty to support and educate a minor child
Everyone residing in the State who has reached eighteen years of age is of legal age, and their minority has ended.
Who handles this in Hawaii: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the Hawaii directory.
Parents, or legally appointed guardians where both have died, have control over the conduct and education of their minor children, and provide to the best of their abilities for the children's discipline, support and education.
