Which of these orders is specifically designed to prevent contact between parties?

The no-contact order is specifically designed to prevent contact between parties, primarily in cases involving domestic violence, harassment, or stalking. This type of order legally prohibits an individual from approaching, communicating with, or coming near the other party involved, thereby ensuring the safety and well-being of the victim.

In contrast, a custody order primarily addresses the legal and physical care of children following a separation or divorce, focusing on parenting rights rather than direct contact boundaries. A restraining order may also impose certain restrictions but is broader and can include various forms of conduct that are prohibited, not solely focusing on contact. A release order relates to the conditions under which a defendant can be released from custody, which does not inherently address contact between parties involved. Thus, the no-contact order is the most suitable option for explicitly preventing interactions between the parties.
