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 South Carolina.

Frequently Asked Questions

The form serves to allow the non-petitioning spouse to formally consent to the divorce proceedings, waive certain rights, and acknowledge the court's jurisdiction, streamlining the divorce process.

This form is intended for spouses in South Carolina who are undergoing an uncontested divorce and wish to simplify the legal process by waiving their right to contest or appeal.

No, only the spouse who is not the petitioner needs to sign the Appearance, Consent and Waiver form to acknowledge their consent and appearance in the divorce proceedings.

By signing the 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.

While legal representation is not required, it is highly recommended to ensure that both parties understand their rights and obligations before signing any legal documents.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are going through an uncontested divorce may find this form essential. By signing the Appearance, Consent and Waiver, the non-petitioning spouse can expedite the divorce process, reducing the need for extensive court appearances and paperwork.
  • Situations requiring a streamlined divorce process can benefit from this form. For couples who agree on the terms of their divorce, this document allows the respondent to formally consent to the divorce without contesting it, thus saving time and legal fees.
  • To comply with South Carolina divorce regulations, the respondent must acknowledge the court's jurisdiction. This form serves as a legal acknowledgment that the respondent is aware of the proceedings and waives certain rights, facilitating a smoother resolution.

  • Couples who wish to finalize their divorce quickly may utilize this form to eliminate unnecessary delays. The Appearance, Consent and Waiver allows the non-petitioning spouse to step back from the process while still ensuring their legal rights are acknowledged.

Do Not Use If:

  • – For individuals who are unsure about their legal rights or the implications of waiving certain rights, it is advisable to consult with an attorney before using this form.
