matter are enforceable in the same manner and to the same extent as
other orders of the equity courts of this State, including, but not
limited to, citation and imprisonment for contempt. The person fail-
ing to make support payments as ordered shall be served with an
order directing him to show cause on a specified date why he should
not be held in contempt. Should he fail to appear in response to a
notice served upon him or prove unavailable for service, the court
shall issue its warrant for the person's apprehension and arrest in
the manner provided in Section 66E (c) of this sub-title. If the court
shall find that the person cited has failed to comply with the support
order while possessing the means to have done so, the court shall
find the person guilty of civil contempt and may commit him to jail
or any other institution of penal confinement in this State until he
shall comply with the support order or otherwise purge himself of
his contempt.
