Can my wife and I waive the income and debt disclosure during a dissolution?
My wife and I are getting a dissolution of marriage. I have the papers and have been filling them out, but there is a section that is asking for a full outline and disclosure of income and debts. But I have also read that there is something called “Waiver of Disclosure” form. Can we get one and just sign that instead and forego filling out 5 pages of debt and income disclosure? We just want it done; we’re not interested in fighting over who earns what or who owes what.

IF the "waiver and disclosure" form that you have written about concerning your marital dissolution specifically pertains to the income and disclosure form that you and your spouse prefer not to complete, date, sign and file with the court, then you two can complete the "waiver form" and not fill out the five (5) plus pages of the debt and income disclosure.
However, ordinarily the legal system prefers that the income and debt form be completed, dated, signed and filed by all parties to a marital dissolution as part of the process.
