Massachusetts Temporary Order-Decree And Order of Expansion-Modification is a legal document issued by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. It is used to temporarily modify or expand the scope of a court order, such as a restraining order or an injunction. This type of order is typically issued when a party in a case requests a change to an existing court order, and the court needs more time to review and decide on the request. There are two types of Massachusetts Temporary Order-Decree And Order of Expansion-Modification: temporary restraining orders and temporary injunctions. A temporary restraining order (TO) is a court order that prevents a person from taking certain actions, such as harassing, contacting, or stalking another person. A temporary injunction is a court order that requires a person to do something, such as paying money or vacating property. These orders are used to protect the safety and rights of individuals and are issued by a court on an emergency basis. They can be extended and modified as needed, and are typically followed until a final decision is made.
