Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am Brazilian. I have 4 children (Brazilian also). My husband (also Brazilian) and I divorced in Brazil in 2007. I have a child support order in Brazil that he signed. Soon after our divorce he moved to Miami and married a woman in the U.S.. He no longer makes child support payments. Is there any way to enforce the Brazilian support order against him in the U.S.? He will probably not be coming back to Brazil because a warrant has been issued for his arrest for non payment of child support.

Yes, I handle these matters. The foreign judgment must be domesticated and then enforced in Florida.
