Re: divorce
Get an attorney and at least start getting some visits with the children. You don't say what was in the final judgment, but let the attorney look it over and see if a fraud was committed on the Court. This is a very complex area to delve into.
Re: divorce
There isn't much sense in contesting the divorce itself. What you want to do is file a motion to establish time-sharing/custody. You also want to file a motion to set aside the division of property and maybe to establish maintenance.
Re: divorce
You can reopen the divorce if you can prove fraud. While there is no specific time required for you to pursue this, there is a doctrine of law that basically says if you sit on your rights you lose them.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Largo, with a satellite location in Tampa.
