The Massachusetts Affidavit for Filing Out-of-State Protective Order is a legal document used to obtain a restraining order from another state. It is used when an individual is living in Massachusetts and seeks protection from an individual living in another state. This affidavit is used to advise the court of the relevant facts of the situation, such as the nature of the relationship between the parties, any history of abuse, and the need for protection. It is typically accompanied by a copy of the out-of-state restraining order that is being requested. There are two types of Massachusetts Affidavit for Filing Out-of-State Protective Order: the Complaint Affidavit and the Ex Parte Protective Order. The Complaint Affidavit is used when the individual seeking protection has been served with an out-of-state restraining order. The Ex Parte Protective Order is used when the individual seeking protection has not been served with an out-of-state restraining order. In either case, the individual must provide the court with relevant information, such as the name and address of the respondent, a description of the relationship between the parties, and a statement of the need for protection.
