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 North Carolina.

This form is designed for individuals in North Carolina who are going through a divorce and wish to streamline the process by having one spouse consent to the proceedings.

No, by signing the Appearance, Consent and Waiver, the respondent waives their right to contest the divorce and certain legal rights, making it an uncontested process.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are seeking a divorce in North Carolina may find this form essential as it allows one spouse to formally consent to the divorce proceedings without the need for extensive legal representation. This can significantly reduce both the time and costs associated with the divorce process.
  • Situations requiring a streamlined divorce process often benefit from the Appearance, Consent and Waiver form. By having the respondent sign this document, the couple can avoid unnecessary court appearances and expedite the finalization of their divorce.
  • For those who wish to minimize conflict during a divorce, this form provides a way for the non-petitioning spouse to agree to the divorce terms without contesting the process. This can lead to a more amicable resolution and less emotional strain for both parties.
  • Couples who have mutually agreed on the terms of their divorce can use this form to simplify their legal obligations. By waiving certain rights, such as the right to appeal, they can focus on moving forward with their lives rather than getting bogged down in legal disputes.
  • In cases where one spouse is unable to attend court hearings, this form serves as a practical solution. It allows the respondent to acknowledge the proceedings and consent to the jurisdiction of the court without needing to be physically present.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate in cases where the respondent wishes to contest the divorce or any of its terms. If there are disputes regarding asset division, child custody, or support, legal representation is essential.
  • – If the respondent is not in agreement with the divorce or feels pressured to sign, this form should not be used. It is crucial that both parties are willing participants in the process.
  • – In situations where there are allegations of abuse or coercion, using this form may not be suitable. Legal advice should be sought to ensure the safety and rights of the parties involved.
  • – For couples who have not reached an agreement on all divorce terms, this form is not appropriate. It is designed for uncontested divorces where both parties are in full agreement.
