This is all getting a little tedious because this question was asked and was answered. It has been asked again now and it will be answered again. It seems to me in any case that the phraseology indicates that compliance is there. I would have thought that was the point. The phrase "satisfying the court of their ability to comply" means the court asking: "Have you done this? Yes. Have you done that? Yes." That is the checklist done and dusted. In other words, the phrase "their ability to comply with his or her obligations" is compliance. It is spelt C-O-M-P-L-I-A-N-C-E. It has more syllables than "one" but it still should be understandable.
