1Opinion of the Court

BECTON, Judge.

This case involves whether a husband may raise as a defense to a motion for contempt, that a separation agreement and divorce judgment were void based on the fact that the husband and wife had engaged in sexual intercourse on two isolated occasions between the making of the separation agreement and the granting of the divorce. If so, the husband contends, he could not be held in contempt of such a void judgment, and the trial court’s orders to that effect were in error. We disagree with the husband and we affirm the trial court’s orders of 19 April 1985 and 24 May 1985.
