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 Montana.

Frequently Asked Questions

The purpose of this form is to allow the non-petitioning spouse to officially consent to the divorce proceedings, waive certain legal rights, and streamline the divorce process in Montana.

This form is intended for spouses in Montana who are seeking a divorce and wish to simplify the legal process by having the non-petitioning spouse consent to the divorce without contesting it.

By signing this form, the respondent waives their rights to findings of fact, conclusions of law, a record of testimony, motion for a new trial, notice of entry of final judgment, and the right to appeal.

No, this form is specifically designed for use in Montana and may not be valid or applicable in other jurisdictions.

While legal representation is not required, it is advisable to consult with an attorney to ensure that all legal rights are understood and protected before signing the form.

Once the form is signed by the respondent, no further action is typically required from that spouse for the remainder of the divorce process, allowing the petitioner to proceed with the case.

Once the form is signed and submitted to the court, the respondent cannot unilaterally change their mind without potentially reopening the divorce proceedings.

If there is a disagreement on the terms of the divorce, this form may not be appropriate, and both parties should consider seeking legal advice or mediation.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are seeking a divorce in Montana may find this form essential to streamline the legal process. By signing the Appearance, Consent and Waiver, the non-petitioning spouse acknowledges their agreement to the divorce proceedings, which can significantly reduce the amount of paperwork involved.
  • Situations requiring a mutual agreement between spouses can benefit from this form. When both parties are in accord about the divorce terms, this document allows the respondent to officially consent to the jurisdiction of the court without needing to contest the divorce, thereby expediting the process.
  • For those looking to minimize legal expenses, this form serves as a cost-effective solution. By waiving certain rights, the responding spouse can avoid the need for extensive legal representation, which can be particularly beneficial for couples with amicable relationships.
  • In cases where one spouse is unable to attend court hearings, this form provides a way to ensure their participation in the divorce process. The respondent can sign the form to indicate their presence and consent, allowing the divorce to proceed without delays.
  • Couples who wish to finalize their divorce quickly may utilize this form to eliminate unnecessary court appearances. By consenting to the divorce and waiving their rights to further legal proceedings, the respondent can help facilitate a smoother and faster resolution.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if one spouse does not agree to the divorce. In cases of contested divorce, both parties must actively participate in the legal process and cannot simply waive their rights.
  • – If there are significant disputes regarding child custody or property division, this form should not be used. Such issues require detailed negotiation and legal representation to ensure fair outcomes.
  • – In situations where the respondent is unaware of the divorce proceedings, using this form could lead to legal complications. All parties must be informed and consenting to the process.
  • – This form is unsuitable if there are allegations of abuse or coercion. In such cases, it is crucial for the respondent to seek legal counsel to protect their rights and safety.
  • – If the couple has not reached a mutual agreement on divorce terms, this form is not the right choice. Both parties should work through their differences before considering a waiver.
