Mass. R. Dom. Rel. P. 65.1

As amended through October 3, 2024

Rule 65.1 - Security: Proceedings against Sureties

Whenever these rules require or permit the giving of security by a,party, and security is given in the form of a bond or stipulation or other undertaking with one or more sureties, each surety submits himself to the jurisdiction of the court and irrevocably appoints the clerk of the court as his agent upon whom any papery affecting his liability on the bond or undertaking may be served. His liability may be enforced on motion without the necessity of an independent action. The motion and such notice of the motion as the court prescribes may be served on the clerk of the court, who shall forthwith mail copies to the sureties if their addresses are known.
