This appeal involves a decision in equity reforming a contract which was incorporated into a divorce decree. The decree provided in part:

“1. Husband will pay to the Wife, through the Clerk of this Court, the sum of $300. per month as alimony for a period of twenty-four months.”

The decree contained no provision for termination of the monthly payments at an earlier date in the event of the wife’s remarriage.

Upon his wife’s subsequent remarriage, respondent-husband sought, and the trial court allowed, reformation of the above paragraph, adding a provision for automatic termination of alimony payments “upon the remarriage of Wife.”

When an agreement between the parties to a divorce is incorporated into a divorce decree, the court retains jurisdiction to modify the support provisions under ORS 107.135. ① The parties cannot deprive the *211 court of this jurisdiction. Garnett v. Garnett, 270 Or 102; 526 P2d 549 (1974), holds that an agreement between the parties to a dissolution-of-marriage proceeding that support payments should not terminate on the remarriage of the wife did not remove the court’s jurisdiction to terminate the payments upon the wife’s remarriage.

Once incorporated into a court decree, such an agreement between the parties loses its contractual nature. Prime v. Prime, 172 Or 34, 139 P2d 550 (1943). A suit for reformation is therefore fruitless because the contract no longer exists. If respondent in the case at bar believed he was entitled to modification of the support provision his remedy was to petition the court for modification of the decree under ORS 107.135.

Reversed.
