Re: custody for out of state parent
If the divorce happened in Florida, you need a Florida attorney to handle subsequent issues of support/visitation.
He can be held in contempt for not allowing you to see your daughter.
You can be held in contempt for not paying support. However, it sounds like you had an acceptable reason to fall behind. As long as you're making a good-faith effort to catch up, the court will not look down on you for that, generally.
Best of luck to you.
