The mother of my daughter move to Hawaii last year and has fail to meet all of the agreements done in court. She has 6 contempt of court and she is now trying to change the jurisdiction of my daughter after the judge order her not to do it. There was a case in court today in Hawaii where she now lives. The documents that I got from the courts web site reads Case Disposition: GRT (Granted) and Case Termination: UNC (Unsatisfactory). I don't know what this means...

I wish to inform you that online only short court order is provided so that subject of Order can be known. Generally the court determines best interest of child as main consideration. In this regard legal jurisdiction will be of the place where the child resides. If you have not opposed in court then default judgment may be granted against you. The abbreviation does not completely describe the judgment. You can contact Hawaii Court clerk and can request for court case decision details or have copy of court order.

You need to have a copy of the order, not just the notation on the docket. This should be easy enough to do by contacting the clerk of the court in Hawaii who should be able to mail you a copy of the order -- or the entire file for that matter.

Why she moved to Hawaii is important. If the court accepted jurisdiction, why. Or if they refused to, why.

When it comes to child custody proceedings, the applicable law is the UCCJEA which requires that initial proceedings be brought where the child has lived for at least six months. Your home town, apparently. When the custodial parent moves, which many do for job reasons, support of family, and other good reasons, once the child has been in the second state for six months, the parent may file to modify the original court's order(s). The procedure is for the courts to communicate as to which is the most appropriate forum and the originating court may give up jurisdiction if it deems appropriate.

If she was granted full custody in Hawaii, the court there must have found they were the proper forum to litigate the issue. Without more facts than you have posted here, it is anyone's guess as to what went on in Hawaii -- or even your hometown court.

Get a copy of the order and as much of the file as you can and then re post if you still have questions.
