Contempt civil--failure to pay alimony--ability to comply The trial court erred by finding defendant husband in contempt of court for willful failure to pay alimony to plaintiff wife in accordance with the parties’ incorporated separation agreement, because there was no determination in the trial court’s findings of defendant’s present ability to comply with the terms of the order. Appeal by defendant from order entered 21 October 2002 by Judge Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx in Guilford County District Court. Heard in the Court of Appeals 26 April 2004. Xxxx Xxxxx for plaintiff-appellee. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP, by Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, III, for defendant-appellant. XXXXXXXXX, Judge. This is an appeal from an order, issued after a bench trial, concluding that plaintiff had not lost her alimony rights due to cohabitation and finding defendant in contempt of a previous court order. Plaintiff and defendant were married on or about 25 February 1983 and separated on 30 December 1997. The parties are the parents of one child. A “Separation Agreement and Property Settlement Agreement” (“the agreement”) was entered into by the parties on 20 March 1998. This agreement was incorporated into a divorce judgment granted to the parties on 27 October 1999. The agreement included many detailed provisions, including one related to alimony for plaintiff. Under the agreement, defendant was obligated to pay to plaintiff alimony “through June 30, 2005 or until . . . WIFE’S [plaintiff’s] cohabitation with a person of the opposite sex to whom she is unrelated by blood or marriage, whichever event shall first occur.” Defendant paid alimony to plaintiff until April of 2000. At some point in May of 2000, defendant’s attorney sent plaintiff a letter informing her that defendant would no longer pay her alimony due to her cohabitation with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. On 7 November 2001, plaintiff filed a motion for contempt against defendant due to his failure to pay alimony and several other failures to comply with the separation agreement that are not at issue here. Defendant in turn made a motion under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1A-1, Rule 60(b)(6) to vacate the court’s order of alimony due to plaintiff’s cohabitation. The trial court found that plaintiff was not cohabiting and found defendant in contempt of the court order for not paying alimony.

DCS may pursue any and all appropriate relief in court and under this Contract, including but not limited to Section 16 and Section 45, in order to secure testimony of witnesses.
