§ 6111. Property Relations.
(a) Either husband or wife may enter into any engagement or
transaction with the other, respecting property subject, in transaction
between themselves, to the general rules which control the actions of persons
occupying confidential relations with each other.
(b) The provisions of an agreement for support of either party shall be
deemed to be separate and severable from the provisions of the agreement
relating to property. An order for support of either party based on the
agreement shall be law-imposed and shall be made under the power of the
court to order spousal support.
(c) The mutual consent of the parties is a sufficient consideration for
such an agreement.
(d) (1) Except as provided in Subsections (2) and (3), the provisions
of an agreement for the support of either party are subject to subsequent
modification or termination by court order.
(2) An agreement may not be modified or terminated as to an
amount that accrued before the date of the filing of the notice of motion
or order to show cause to modify or terminate.
(3) An agreement for spousal support may not be modified or
revoked to the extent that a written agreement, or, if there is no written
agreement, an oral agreement entered into in open court between the
parties, specifically provides that the spousal support is not subject to
modification or termination.
(e) If an obligation under an agreement for settlement of property to a
spouse or for support of a spouse is discharged in bankruptcy, the court may
make all proper orders for the support of the spouse, as the court determines
are just, having regard for the circumstances of the parties and the amount of
the obligations under the agreement that are discharged.

respect to a property settlement agreement entered into after May 15, 2015,
