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 Alabama.
