A Massachusetts Defendant's Motion to Modify or Terminate Abuse Prevention Order is a legal document that allows a defendant who has been subject to an Abuse Prevention Order (APO) to seek changes to the terms of the order. It is a way for a defendant to challenge the existing APO, or to request that it be modified or terminated altogether. The motion may be filed in the court where the original APO was issued, and is typically filed by the defendant's attorney. There are two primary types of Massachusetts Defendant's Motion to Modify or Terminate Abuse Prevention Order: a Motion to Modify and a Motion to Terminate. A Motion to Modify seeks to modify the terms of the existing APO, such as changing the duration of the order, the scope of the prohibited contact, or the conditions of the defendant's release. On the other hand, a Motion to Terminate seeks to have the APO completely removed, so that the defendant is no longer subject to its terms.
