Most states have a form letter, when you go into the court, just politely ask one of the staff at the counter there for a "waiver of appearance" form for your divorce. Conversely, you more than likely can access it on-line through your states databases for the courts. This will take you a little more time if you're not good with a computer.
The answer an waiver is just that, you can answer the complaint and provide the court your side, or if you agree with the divorce you would send in the waiver, and the waiver basically tells the court you don't dispute the case and agree with the proceeding and waive any further notice of proceeding. So if you agree to the divorce, sign the waiver and send in, but if you disagree do not waive your right, because once you do this it is hard to take it back.
An 'entry of appearance' is a formal notification to the court by an attorney who is announcing his appearance on the behalf of his client. The 'waiver' could apply to most anything but in association with the 'entry' notice it could signify that the attorney and client waive (voluntarily surrender) a formal reading of the charge(s).
No appearence means that someone who was meant to be present, in court, wasn't there - didn't appear = no appearence. And without that person there, the court couldn't do anything about the divorce case.

If there is no disagreement between the husband and wife you can file jointly. It would save money and time to do that. Added: Technically, there has to be a plaintiff and a defendant in all law suits. Many divorces are uncontested, however, one party or the other must be the party to actually file the divorce. In uncontested matters, this can be done pretty quickly by one party filing the paperwork, allowing the other party to sign a waiver of service, then agreeing to the terms of divorce, signing it and having one party prove the divorce up in court (I don't think all states require a court appearance for an agreed divorce, however Texas does).

The State of Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning the court will not assign fault to either party for the divorce. Neither spouse can prevent the other from obtaining a divorce. Marriage is not a prison and an inmate who is incarcerated for life cannot impose a life sentence on their spouse. She/he has the right to move on with their life. The inmate does not have to consent to the divorce.
