Can I get a restraining order in a small claims court case?

No, you cannot get a restraining order in a small claims court case in Hawaii. Restraining orders and other injunctive relief are not allowed in small claims court cases. A restraining order is a type of legal order that prohibits one person from contacting or coming within a certain distance of another person. A restraining order can be requested from other courts, such as a family court or a district court. In Hawaii, in order to be eligible to file for a restraining order, you must have some type of relationship with the person you are seeking protection from, such as a relationship between family members, former spouses, or romantic partners. If you are just seeking an order against a neighbor or business, you will need to go to a different court. Small claims court is intended to settle disputes between two parties who are seeking a financial remedy for a dispute, such as damage compensation. If a restraining order is not an applicable remedy for the dispute, then small claims court will not be able to provide a restraining order.
