The Massachusetts Petition For Approval of Compromise is a form used to request approval from a court to settle a dispute through compromise or settlement. It is typically used when a dispute arises between two or more parties and a resolution is needed to avoid litigation. The petition must be signed by all parties involved in the dispute and must be filed in the court where the dispute originated. There are two types of Massachusetts Petition For Approval of Compromise: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary petition is used when all parties involved in the dispute agree to the settlement, while an involuntary petition is used when one of the parties does not agree to the settlement. Both types require a court approval to be valid.
