Yes so long as you live in FL you can get the divorce in FL. Use of a lawyer is recommended.

You can have him served in Mexico UP the Hague Convention or if you do not know where he is you may serve him by publication.

If the husband is an ex husband, there has already been a divorce. If you have not gotten divorced yet, you can file for a divorce and have him served with the petition and a summons. During the divorce action, he would have to try to get shared parental responsibility and a majority of the time sharing with the children. That probably would not get far with the facts you have written only.

Yes, you can still get your divorce, but you referred to him as your ex husband. Does that mean you are already divorced? The Court will have to decide who will get custody of the children. Circumstances dictate on that one.
