More details to this question:
Can my ex drag me back into court to attempt to force me to pay for my estranged daughters post secondary education? Our paper work was from New Hampshire and I don't live in Mass or New Hampshire. Our agreement was breached long ago. Basically, the college decision was made by my ex and I was never given any consideration for any decisions but yet she expects to make me pay for it.

It depends. Typically the law of the state where the judgment or divorce was entered governs the enforcement. Therefore, although Florida does not require parents to pay for post secondary education expenses, I am not sure what the law is in New Hampshire.
Even if the law of New Hampshire does not require payment of post secondary education expenses, if you entered into a contract to do so then it would still be enforceable. The fact that part of the agreement was breached long ago and not enforced does not necessarily mean another provision cannot be enforced now. You need to review the entire agreement as you may have rights you wish to enforce against your ex as well.
Good luck,
