Does a No Contact Order need to be served on the person who's name is on it?

And if a Judge refers to it as a restraining order by imposing additional rules, such as No Contact within 200 feet, than what is it?

Does the person named have any recourse to having it dismissed?

    Yes, their recourse is to be in front of the judge and explain his action regarding the necessity of the no contact order. Emergency orders are usually given following a domestic abuse situation, but a further order in front of a judge DOES allow the person to address the court. If the person requesting the order does not show up, it is usually dismissed. If the person that the request is being made against is not present and the request is reasonable, it can be granted. You are usually notified of the pending court date and those papers usually inform you that if you do not attend than a motion will be granted, thus informing you of a pending action.
