This appeal arises from the trial court’s postjudgment order denying the motion of appellant Edward John Cesnalis (Edward) *1270 to terminate spousal support. The court found that Edward and his former wife, Glenda Hill Cesnalis (Glenda), had agreed in writing that Glenda’s remarriage would not terminate her spousal support, and therefore Edward had waived his rights under Family-Code section 4337 (section 4337). Under section 4337, spousal support terminates by law upon the supported spouse’s remarriage unless the parties have agreed otherwise in writing. The trial court also found that Edward’s removal of language from the relevant written agreement—at Glenda’s insistence—that would have expressly terminated spousal support upon her remarriage estopped him from claiming that her remarriage terminated support.
