If a CAO was made first and then that was followed by an NMO (which I suspect to be the case) then the NMO should take precedence. I assume that the court making the NMO was aware of the CAO. Sometimes the court will include an exception in a NMO for attending at an address for the purpose of exercising court ordered contact.
