On or about February 4, 1982, John filed a "Husband's
Memorandum in Support of Motion to Dismiss", which stated
that the [divorce] agreement was intended not merely
for the support of the former Wife and the minor child
of the marriage, but also as a full and complete
settlement of the property rights. Where one party
surrenders valuable property interests and at the same
time is to receive periodic payments specified as
alimony, such agreements are not subject to
modification. Mills v. Mills, 339 So. 2d 681, 684
(Fla. 1st Dist. 1976).
John maintained that Faye "fail[ed] to allege the elements which
would constitute a cause of action for modification of the
property settlement agreement between Mr. and Mrs. Daugharty."
John also alleged that the court lacked jurisdiction to decide
the case because the subject matter of Faye's Motion for
Modification and Enforcement of Final Judgment was substantially
the same as the subject matter of Faye's appeal, which was
pending at the time, from the denial of her Motion to Set Aside
Property Settlement Agreement and to Cancel Deed.
On October 15, 1982, Faye filed an Amended Contempt Notice
against John, in which she stated that she would apply for an
order adjudging John "in contempt of Court for violation of the
terms of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage * * * by
failing to pay the alimony awarded thereby to FAYE E. DAUGHARTY".
On January 11, 1983, Faye filed a Second Amended Contempt Notice
