Carpinello, J.
At issue on this appeal is an order of Supreme Court which found defendant in contempt for failing to pay plaintiff, his ex-wife, $19,000 as required by a stipulation of settlement incorporated but not merged into a judgment of divorce. In essence, defendant contends that the disputed $19,000 obligation, first recited as part of an oral, in-court stipulation, was later subsumed by the terms of a subsequent, in-court stipulation. We disagree.
