2. ““The general rule in Wisconsin is that a provision for alimony will not be changed except upon a positive showing of a change of circumstances, especially where the original provision is based on an agreement of the parties. Taake v. Taake, 70 Wis. 2d 115, 121 , 233 N.W.2d 449 (1975). Where the payments are according to stipulation, ‘the substantial or material change in the circumstances should be such that it would be unjust or inequitable to strictly hold either party to the judgment.’ Miner v. Miner, 10 Wis. 2d 438, 441-42 , 103 N.W.2d 4 (1960). Modification of the award is within the discretion of the trial court. Taake, supra at 122 .””
