Title: Approved Statewide Forms — Divorce, Child Support & Maintenance
Heading: Appearance form

A respondent (or any party) who wants to participate in the case files an 'Appearance' form (the statewide form is titled 'Appearance and Jury Request'). ILAO also offers a blank Appearance form for divorce. Filing an Appearance tells the court and the other side that you are participating in the case.
