Haw. Rev. Stat. § 346-55.1: Visitation, custody, and support when public assistance paid.

Whenever public assistance is paid to or for the benefit of any dependent child, the existence or enforcement of a duty of support owed by a noncustodial parent to such child shall not be affected by a failure or refusal by the custodial parent to implement any right as to custody or visitation granted by a court to the noncustodial parent.
