I would assume Florida unless you have moved again or he is in CA. If he is in CA you would have to transfer the case back to CA.

Presently, Florida probably does. You should register the order in what ever jurisdiction you now reside so that you can go forward with your enforcement action.

This is very vague. Assuming that the judgment was enrolled in Florida and then Florida modified it, Florida would probably have jurisdiction for enforcement. I'd take the document to an attorney in the state you live in to verify this.

It would depend upon where you are resident.

Where do you live? Where do the children live? Those are the threshold questions.
