     § 3703.  Enforcement of arrearages.
        If at any time a party is in arrears in the payment of
     alimony or alimony pendente lite as provided for in sections
     3701 (relating to alimony) and 3702 (relating to alimony
     pendente lite, counsel fees and expenses), the court may, after
     hearing, in order to effect payment of the arrearages:
            (1)  Enter judgment.
            (2)  Authorize the taking and seizure of the goods and
        chattels and the collection of the rents and profits of the
        real estate of the party.
            (3)  Attach no more than 50% of the wages of the party.
            (4)  Award interest on unpaid installments.
            (5)  Require security to insure future payments.
            (6)  Issue attachment proceedings, directed to the
        sheriff or other proper officer of the county, directing that
        the person named as having failed to comply with the court
        order be brought before the court at such time as the court
        may direct. If the court finds, after hearing, that the named
        person willfully failed to comply with the court order, it
        may declare the person in civil contempt of court and in its
        discretion make an appropriate order, including, but not
        limited to, commitment of the person to prison for a period
        not to exceed six months.
            (7)  Award counsel fees and costs.
