It was also agreed therein that \u201cthe terms and provisions of this Agreement may be incorporated in a divorce judgment and [sic] the terms of which may be enforceable as a court order.\u201d\nThe parties were absolutely divorced by judgment entered 31 October 1983. The separation agreement was not incorporated into that judgment. On 19 April 1985 the plaintiff filed in the District Court of Forsyth County a motion to have the separation agreement incorporated into the divorce judgment entered on 31 October 1983.\nAlthough not so designated, plaintiff\u2019s motion is essentially one made pursuant to G.S. 1A-1, Rule 59 to alter or amend the judgment entered on 31 October 1983. The trial court has no authority to alter or amend a judgment under this rule pursuant to a motion made more than 10 days after entry of the judgment sought to be altered or amended. Thus, the order appealed from must be vacated.\nVacated.\nChief Judge HEDRICK and Judge PARKER concur.",
