Yes, however you would need to be served the papers personally in Florida.

You should have your order domesticated here in Florida.

Florida probably has jurisdiction. As a general rule, the state where the child has lived for the last six months has jurisdiction over the child, but there are many exceptions to the rule. You should take your paperwork to a Florida family law attorney to know for sure.
