Legal Question in Family Law in California

You say in an "Divorce Agreement" or "Spousal Support Agreement" you can not go after the other party for "Contempt of Court" that it is frivolous. After the Agreements were signed by both parties the Judge writes out a "Court Order" of the Agreements. How can this be frivolous if the other party agrees and then doesn't keep his agreement and knowingly does this and I can prove "Intent" and a "Pattern"?
