I agree with the majority's reversal of the trial court's judgment in regard to its enforcement of the parties' agreement without *Page 490 
modification and the determination that the husband owed no alimony arrearage. However, the majority fails to mention that the trial court also found that the husband was not in contempt of court. I believe that that determination should be affirmed because, as this court has previously stated, a court can find that a party is not in contempt when he or she abides by a mutual agreement in derogation of a court order. Hollis v.State ex rel. Hollis, 618 So.2d 1350, 1351 (Ala.Civ.App. 1992).
