You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Although you can be held in contempt, it is doubtful that "they will come to Florida" and arrest you if you do not pay. More than likely, a civil order will be entered holding you in contempt. It might be enforced if you return to New York and should be stopped by the police for any reason.
