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 New Hampshire.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are seeking a divorce in New Hampshire may find this form essential for streamlining the 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 agree on the terms of the divorce, the respondent can use this document to formally consent to the jurisdiction of the court, thereby expediting the overall divorce process.
  • For those who wish to avoid lengthy court appearances, this form serves as a practical solution. By waiving their right to certain legal proceedings, the respondent can simplify their involvement, allowing the divorce to proceed without further participation from them.
  • Couples looking to minimize divorce-related expenses will find this kit particularly useful. The Appearance, Consent and Waiver form helps eliminate unnecessary legal fees by reducing the complexity of the divorce process, making it easier for both parties to reach a resolution.
  • In cases where one spouse is unable or unwilling to contest the divorce, this form provides a straightforward way to proceed. The respondent can sign the waiver, allowing the divorce to move forward without opposition, thus saving time and resources.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if one spouse does not agree to the divorce. In such cases, the non-consenting spouse should seek legal advice and may need to contest the divorce instead.
  • – If there are unresolved issues regarding child custody or property division, using this form may not be advisable. These matters should be addressed through negotiation or court proceedings before proceeding with the waiver.
  • – In situations where one spouse is under duress or coercion, signing this form would not be valid. Both parties must enter into the agreement voluntarily and without pressure.
  • – This form should not be used if there are allegations of domestic violence or abuse. In such cases, legal protections and a different approach may be necessary to ensure safety and compliance with the law.
  • – If the respondent wishes to retain the right to appeal or contest the divorce, this form is not suitable. Signing it waives those rights, which may not be acceptable for all individuals.
