Dear Anonymous:     Unfortunately, two wrongs do not make a right.  Yes, you still have an obligation to pay child support.  Luckily, your support ends soon.  I am wondering why there was never an order in place to have her return to Florida and a pick up order to get your kids back 7 years ago.    As to the contempt, you could proceed to get a writ of bodily attachment and if your ex ever enters Florida again she could be arrested.  A little too complicated to explain in detail here, but there is a "remedy."      I am sorry you have had to go through this and hopefully, since your children will be adults soon, you will be able to rekindle the relationship with them.   Best of luck, Cindy S.
