DOERFER, J.
This an appeal from an order of a judge of the Probate and Family Court that the husband, Nicholas Karellas, pay interest on an amount awarded to the wife in a divorce judgment. The husband argues that his delay in failing to pay the judgment should have been enforced by a complaint for contempt and that interest could only be awarded as a remedy for contempt. We disagree and hold that the judgment bore interest from the date of its entry.
