Thank you,

If your homestead is in Florida it cannot be taken for a judgement. Unless the judgement is a mortgage foreclosure or other voluntary liens.

Re: Can my house be taken to pay off debt?
The general rule, if your home is your homestead, is that it cannot be taken. Exceptions are if the suit was to foreclose on the mortgage or other voluntary lien. I suggest you have a consultation with competent counsel to review your particular situation.
