You'd want to bring this one in New York hopefully in front of the judge that signed the order. You have a breach of contract and contempt of court here. You could have a good shot at getting legal fees too. For NY law and court forms go to: http://justiceneversleeps.net

You may file in either NY or in Florida. It is best to serve her through an out-of-state (lacal in FL) process server for a NY filing.
