Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Hi there, I would like to ask if extortion or blackmailing is a crime in Orange County Florida.

I am being threatened by my estranged husband (who has taken more over $15000 from me) that if I do not send him more money, he had "good stuff to show all my family and friends".

He is using the divorce to extort money from me as I am in Singapore and cannot file for divorce from here.

I have given him so much money for the so-called divorce that I don't have any money left.

I have all the conversations on email, the letter he wrote, his threats.

Can you advise pls?

Regards, Cassandra
