So, even if it is contained in a consent order AND is therefore enforceable through contempt or other court remedy, it still can’t be modified by the court? I don’t understand how it CAN be enforced by the court as a consent order but yet NOT modifiable by the court. How does the court have the ability to do one and not the other? Can you help me understand? ---

It is because the parties agreed that alimony would be non- modifiable, and the court will uphold that intent. ---

The court will enforce the termination provisions as they are written in the incorporated agreement. ---

I am not sure why there are two documents, but the Order would prevail. ---
