Yes you can. It is a straight forward motion. Google "Florida Family Law Forms." Scroll down to the "Motion for Contempt/Enforcement" form. Be sure to follow the instructions on the form. There is a $50.00 filing fee to reopen the case.
Though I think it's always unwise, especially if the other side gets a lawyer, you can file a motion for contempt/enforcement on your own. The form can be found at www.flcourts.org.
You can file a motion for contempt. Then call the judge's secretary and set up a hearing on the motion. Then have the ex served by the sheriff's office with a notice of hearing. Then present your case to the judge. Good luck
