In Florida, if a civil judgement is obtained, and then satisfied, can the court records be sealed or expunged as in some criminal matters?

No, there is no method available for sealing civil records. However, a judge does have discretion to seal certain parts of a civil file if the parts of a civil file are especially personal (nude photos and so forth). Also, social security numbers always have to be sealed.
