Child support enforcement
(a) Suspension of license to practice law. Upon receipt by the Hawaiʻi State Bar of a certification from the Child Support Enforcement Agency of the State of Hawaiʻi (CSEA) that a person licensed to practice law in this jurisdiction is not in compliance with an order of support or is not in compliance with a subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or child support proceeding, the license of the person so certified shall be automatically suspended.
(b) Reinstatement to practice. A license suspended under subsection (a) of this rule shall not be reinstated until the CSEA or the Family Court issues, in writing, an authorization canceling the certification of noncompliance. Upon receipt of the authorization canceling the certification and payment of all fees and costs assessed, including arrears, by the Hawaiʻi State Bar, the license of the attorney shall be automatically reinstated.
(c) Fee assessment. The Hawaiʻi State Bar may assess a reasonable fee for reinstating or restoring a license and may also charge the attorney a reasonable fee to cover the administrative costs incurred by the Hawaiʻi State Bar to comply with this rule.
