The Appearance, Consent and Waiver is a document you can use to eliminate much of the paperwork and often considerable expense from the process of obtaining a divorce. With this document the spouse who is not designated as the petitioner/plaintiff officially makes a legal appearance and consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the court. This spouse (referred to as the respondent/defendant) also waives his or her right to findings of fact, conclusions of law, a record of testimony, motion for a new trial, notice of entry of final judgment or decree and right to appeal.

Once the spouse who will act as respondent/defendant has signed this form, no further action by that spouse should be necessary for the remainder of the divorce process.


In addition to an Appearance, Consent and Waiver form, this kit also includes:

i) instructions explaining the language you will need to include in the Appearance, Consent and Waiver form; and
ii) a completed sample Appearance, Consent and Waiver for your reference.

This kit specifically designed for use in Alaska.

This form is intended for spouses in Alaska who wish to participate in a divorce without contesting it. It is particularly useful for those who agree on the terms of the divorce.

By signing the form, the respondent waives their right to findings of fact, conclusions of law, a record of testimony, and the right to appeal, among others.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are seeking a simplified divorce process may find this form essential. By using the Appearance, Consent and Waiver, one spouse can officially consent to the divorce proceedings, reducing the amount of paperwork and potential costs involved.
  • Situations requiring a mutual agreement between spouses can benefit from this form. When both parties agree on the divorce terms, the respondent can sign the waiver, allowing the process to move forward without further court appearances.
  • For those who wish to expedite their divorce, this form serves as a crucial tool. By waiving certain rights, the respondent can help streamline the legal proceedings, making it easier for the petitioner to finalize the divorce.
  • Couples looking to avoid lengthy court battles may utilize this form to signify their agreement. The Appearance, Consent and Waiver allows the respondent to accept the jurisdiction of the court, thus minimizing disputes over legal technicalities.
  • In cases where one spouse is unable or unwilling to contest the divorce, this form is particularly useful. It allows the non-petitioning spouse to formally acknowledge the divorce without needing to engage in extensive legal processes.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if one spouse contests the divorce. In such cases, both parties must engage in the legal process, and the respondent cannot simply waive their rights.
  • – If there are unresolved issues regarding child custody or property division, this form should not be used. These matters require separate legal agreements and cannot be waived without proper negotiation.
  • – In situations where one spouse is unaware of the divorce proceedings, using this form would be inappropriate. Both parties must have knowledge and agree to the divorce for the form to be valid.
  • – This form is not suitable for cases involving domestic violence or coercion. If a spouse feels pressured to sign, they should seek legal counsel before proceeding.
  • – If the respondent wishes to appeal the divorce or contest any terms, this form is not the right choice. It waives the right to appeal, which would not be suitable in such scenarios.
