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 Missouri.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Appearance, Consent and Waiver form allows the respondent in a divorce case to officially acknowledge the court's jurisdiction and waive certain legal rights, simplifying the divorce process.

This form is intended for the spouse who is not the petitioner in a divorce case in Missouri, allowing them to consent to the proceedings without needing to contest the divorce.

No, by signing the Appearance, Consent and Waiver, the respondent waives their right to contest the divorce, which includes the right to appeal or request a new trial.

While legal representation is not required, it is advisable to consult with an attorney to fully understand the implications of waiving rights in a divorce.

Once the form is signed and submitted, the respondent typically does not need to take further action in the divorce process, allowing the petitioner to proceed with the case.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are going through a divorce in Missouri may find this form essential for streamlining the process. By using the Appearance, Consent and Waiver, one spouse can officially acknowledge the court's jurisdiction, which can significantly reduce the amount of paperwork required.
  • Situations requiring mutual agreement between spouses can benefit from this document. When both parties are in accord regarding the divorce terms, the respondent can use this form to waive certain rights, allowing for a smoother and less contentious divorce process.
  • For those who wish to minimize legal expenses, this form serves as a cost-effective solution. By eliminating the need for extensive legal representation for the respondent, the Appearance, Consent and Waiver can help couples save money during their divorce proceedings.
  • Couples looking to expedite their divorce process will find this form advantageous. Once the respondent signs the Appearance, Consent and Waiver, they are no longer required to participate actively in court, allowing for a quicker resolution to the divorce.
  • In cases where one spouse is unable to attend court proceedings, this form provides a legal means for them to consent to the divorce. This ensures that the divorce can proceed without unnecessary delays, even if one spouse cannot be present.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if the respondent wishes to contest the divorce or any of its terms. In such cases, the respondent should seek legal advice and consider filing a formal response instead.
  • – If there are unresolved issues regarding child custody or support, using this form may not be suitable. It is essential to address these matters separately to ensure the best interests of the children are considered.
  • – In situations where one spouse is unaware of the divorce proceedings, this form cannot be used. Both parties must be informed and consenting for the waiver to be valid.
  • – If the respondent has not had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel, it is advisable to refrain from using this form. Understanding the legal implications of waiving rights is crucial before proceeding.
