Affidavit of Consent (Plaintiff)

After 90 days have passed since filing the divorce papers, each spouse will file an affidavit that states they agree to the divorce, and both spouses must file Affidavits of Consent within 30 days of the 90-day waiting period expiration.

Once the court receives the affidavits and other documents, a judge will grant a divorce without holding a formal hearing, allowing the mutual consent divorce to be finalized efficiently through the court system.

The form gives the consent of the Plaintiff to entry of a Divorce Decree after service of Form 7 and contains the plaintiff’s sworn statement affirming their agreement to proceed with the divorce under mutual consent provisions. It presents a legally binding declaration that the plaintiff voluntarily consents to the dissolution of the marriage without contest or dispute.
