What needs to be on a "No Contact Order" to make it legally binding?

A "no contact order" was issued against someone that was not a party to the custody/divorce of my children. Yet althe Judge order a no contact order with this persons name on it and if there is contact then I am the responsible party.

Also there is no end date or reason for the order. Doesn't there need to be more to a no contact order than just a name.

I am in the process of filing a writ with a lawyer, because I believe the judge in family court here in the State of Nevada has over stepped his authority. The plaintiff wanted a restraining order against this person, but the judge knew he could not order one, because there was no victim or incident to allow for one.

Any thoughts would help!

    I don't think a judge can make somebody responsible for somebody else's contact unless the two are accessories to the same offense.

    The order may not specify a date, merely have its own entry date and some pre-printed language specifying how long it's good for.

    The order becomes effective against the other person once he is informed that he is the subject of a restraining order.

    If the order has been issued by the court then it is legally binding on all parties mentioned on it.

    Your only option is to request the order be modified (name removed) or overturned, but you would need to show evidence why that should be done.
