Jail for non payment of alimony?

What is the name of your state? Fl

Can you go to jail for not paying alimony? What if you leave the country, will any court track you down for non payment? If you returned to the USA, but to a different state, could you be arrested?

Yes you can go to jail. If you left the country you could possibly be shipped back here. If you returned to the USA you could be arrested in a different state. Warrants don't disappear.

Correct, depending on the treaty between the two countries.

If you returned to the USA you could be arrested in a different state.

Or any US territory.

Warrants don't disappear.
In addition, if you have any assets here in the US they will be seized.

Instead of running away from a court decision, get your sh@t together and run right at them.
