Can a parent who committed domestic violence get visitation?

A judge can only grant an abusive parent visitation if there is a way to protect:

  • the physical safety and psychological well-being of the child; and
  • the safety of the parent who is a victim of family violence.1

1 Haw. Rev. Stat. § 571-46(a)(10)
