    The court found the debtor had access to funds in periods when payments could have been made, rejected his explanations (income reduction, employer debt, medical condition, bankruptcy) as either unproven or willful evasion, and concluded his conduct amounted to deliberate non‑compliance with the maintenance order; committal for three months and an order for payment of all judgment summons costs were therefore justified.
