benefit, conduct, carry on and engage in any business, occupation, profession or employment
which to him or her may seem advisable. Wife and Husband shall not molest, harass, disturb or

judgment or decree. This agreement shall survive any such final judgment or decree of absolute
divorce, shall be entirely independent thereof, and the parties intend that all obligations
contained herein shall retain their contractual nature in any enforcement proceedings, whether
