A divorce may be granted in Hawaii on the following no-fault grounds:

1. irretrievable breakdown of the marriage;
2. living separate and apart without cohabitation for two years and it would not be harsh or oppressive to the defendant spouse to grant the divorce.

The "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage" may be shown by both spouses stating so in an affidavit or by one spouse stating so in an affidavit and the other spouse not denying it. The court, in such cases, may waive a hearing in uncontested divorces and grant the divorce based on the affidavit.
