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 Dakota.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Appearance, Consent and Waiver form serves to officially acknowledge the court's jurisdiction and allows the non-petitioning spouse to consent to the divorce proceedings without further involvement.

This form is intended for the spouse who is not initiating the divorce but wishes to acknowledge and consent to the process, thereby waiving certain legal rights.

By signing the Appearance, Consent and Waiver form, the respondent waives their right to contest the divorce in certain respects, including the right to appeal, so it is important to understand the implications before signing.

While legal representation is not required, it is advisable to consult with an attorney to fully understand the rights being waived and the implications of the form.

Once the form is signed and submitted, the divorce process can proceed without further action required from the respondent, assuming all other necessary paperwork is completed.

There may be court fees associated with filing the divorce paperwork, including the Appearance, Consent and Waiver form, which can vary by jurisdiction.

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

If there is disagreement, this form would not be appropriate as it requires mutual consent; in such cases, other legal processes may need to be pursued.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are seeking a divorce in North Dakota may find this form essential for simplifying their legal process. By using the Appearance, Consent and Waiver, they can ensure that their spouse acknowledges the divorce proceedings without the need for extensive paperwork.
  • For those who wish to expedite their divorce process, this form allows the non-petitioning spouse to consent to the jurisdiction of the court. This is particularly useful in amicable separations where both parties agree on the terms and wish to avoid unnecessary delays.
  • Situations requiring a straightforward divorce process can benefit from this kit. It provides not only the necessary form but also guidance and a sample, making it easier for individuals unfamiliar with legal documents to navigate the divorce process.
  • Couples who have mutually agreed to divorce and want to minimize costs will find this form beneficial. By waiving certain rights, they can streamline their divorce proceedings and reduce the need for legal representation.
  • In cases where one spouse is unresponsive or unavailable, this form allows the other spouse to proceed with the divorce without further action from the absent party. It effectively acknowledges the court's authority and helps move the process forward.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if one spouse does not agree to the divorce. In cases of contested divorces, both parties must be involved in the process, and this form would not suffice.
  • – If there are unresolved issues regarding child custody or division of assets, using this form may not be suitable. It is important to address all aspects of the divorce before proceeding with a waiver.
  • – In situations where one spouse is unable to provide informed consent, such as due to mental incapacity, this form should not be used. Legal representation and a different approach would be necessary.
  • – If there are allegations of abuse or coercion, this form is inappropriate. It is crucial to ensure that both parties are entering into the agreement voluntarily and without pressure.
  • – This form should not be used if the divorce involves complex legal issues that require detailed negotiation or mediation. In such cases, professional legal assistance is recommended.
