Kapolei court houses all family court proceedings. You know, divorce, adoption, anything that has to do with the family. For me, this place is a bit inconvient as opposed to having it in Downtown, since I live in East Oahu. But I really do appreciate the new and modern building that they have. I’m not sure if the is a LEED certified building, but they did use some «green» measures in the design. There are some aspects of the design that could have been thought out more. Such as the information area. The lines are a bit confusing because if the information person can’t help you, they redirect you to someone else, but you need to get back in line but you have to say you need to see the other person and not the information person when you get to the front. Confusing? Yes, it is. That was my ordeal.
But if you are there for court, remember to check in with the bailiff. The waiting area outside the courtrooms is sufficient. It’s not too comfy, but not gross. There are restricted areas for those people who need to be in a safe area, especially if it’s for a TRO or something sensitive. The courtrooms themselves are so much more modern than district court in downtown or circuit court on Punchbowl. I swear, there are motion/​heat detectors on the benches or the seats. Because I started to shiver and I swear, the room got a little warmer a minute later. Creepy! The judge is watching you! But seriously, they have so cool technology in there.
You need to pay for parking, unless you have a disability placard. Parking is $ 0.25 for a half hour and the darn meter only takes quarters. So bring your quarters. You would have thought that they put those fancy credit card taking meters out here, but they didn’t.
While I’m happy that most of my court proceedings are done with, this court is ok. Too bad it’s so far for me to get to. I would have caught the bus, but I might have fallen asleep and missed my stop.

*Bring quarters for parking. The meter ONLY TAKES QUARTERS. It’s .25 for every half an hour.
I usually come here to pay speeding tickets, or to get a driver’s abstract. The ladies at the cashier window are very helpful and nice. Unlike the DMV!
I did come here once for a court hearing. My court hearing was scheduled at 9am. They recommend you come early to get a seat because no one is allowed to stand. Before the judge comes out, they tell you the rules. They say that they’ll call your name, and if you don’t respond loudly they’ll put a bench warrant on you! It goes by quickly if everyone has all the necessary documents for their case. After your case is heard if your case was dismissed and your bailiff will be returned, don’t forget to go to the cashier window for your check.

It is pretty nice in here. Big court room but usually crowded for the first court hearings. Come early to get a seat because you are not allowed to stand up. Usually flows quickly if the people are here and have all required documents for the hearings. They tell you the rules before the judge comes out, so pay close attention, that way you won’t be in the courtroom for a long time.
