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 Mexico.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Appearance, Consent and Waiver form allows the non-petitioning spouse to officially consent to the divorce proceedings, waiving certain legal rights and simplifying the divorce process.

This form is intended for the spouse who is not initiating the divorce but wishes to consent to the proceedings without contesting them.

By signing this form, the respondent waives their 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 the right to appeal.

No, this form is specifically designed for use in New Mexico and may not be valid in other jurisdictions.

While the form can simplify the process, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that all rights are understood and protected.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are facing a divorce but want to simplify the process can utilize the Appearance, Consent and Waiver form. This allows one spouse to formally consent to the divorce proceedings without the need for extensive legal representation.
  • Situations requiring a quick resolution in divorce cases may benefit from this form. By waiving certain rights, the respondent can expedite the divorce process, reducing both time and financial burdens associated with court appearances.
  • For those who wish to avoid a contentious divorce, this form serves as a means to agree on the proceedings amicably. It allows the non-petitioning spouse to acknowledge the divorce without contesting it, promoting a smoother transition.
  • Couples who have mutually agreed on the terms of their divorce can use this form to finalize their agreement legally. This document helps in minimizing the paperwork and streamlining the court process, making it easier for both parties.
  • In cases where one spouse is unable to attend court hearings, the Appearance, Consent and Waiver form can be a practical solution. It ensures that the absent spouse's consent is recorded, allowing the divorce to proceed without delays.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if there are disputes regarding child custody or support. In such cases, both parties may need to seek legal representation to address these issues adequately.
  • – If one spouse is contesting the divorce or the terms of the divorce settlement, this form should not be used. It is designed for uncontested situations where both parties agree on the divorce.
  • – In situations where there is a history of domestic violence, it is crucial to seek legal counsel rather than using this form. Safety and legal protection should be prioritized.
  • – If the respondent wishes to retain their right to appeal or contest the divorce, this form is not suitable as it waives those rights.
  • – This form should not be used if either party has not fully disclosed their financial information or if there are significant assets involved that require negotiation.
