2009 Massachusetts Code
PART II REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS
TITLE I TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY
CHAPTER 188 HOMESTEADS
Section 3 Use by spouse or minor children
Section 3. In a case in which the probate court has entered a judgment that a spouse is living apart from the owner of a homestead estate for justifiable cause, or the custody of minor children or of a minor child has been awarded by judgment to some person other than said owner, the probate court may by its judgment grant to the spouse or minor children, or to both, the right to use, occupy and enjoy such homestead estate until the further order of the court. The recording of the order of the probate court granting to the spouse or minor children, or to both, the right to use, occupy and enjoy said homestead estate, together with the description thereof, in the registry of deeds for the county or district where the land lies, shall operate to prevent the owner of the homestead estate from disposing of said estate until such time as the probate court may revoke said judgment.
