What is a Waiver of Citation?
A Waiver of Citation is used to do away with the procedure of providing service of legal papers to the other spouse and transcription of proceedings in uncontested divorces. In an uncontested divorce, the petitioner (the spouse who files for the divorce) may just mail to the other spouse the Divorce Petition along with the Waiver of Citation. The spouse who signs the waiver is acknowledging that they have received the Divorce Petition and they do not need to be formally served by a constable or a private process server. Additionally, the waiver allows the uncontested divorce hearing to be held without the other spouse being present in the court room and does not require a court reporter present to record what was said during the hearing.
