Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Question About Judgement

If a creditor has a judgement against you in another county (I live in Florida) and it is an individual debt (mine only) Can the creditor:

Take my husband's wages?

Levy on a Joint Checking Account?

Take Cars that are financed and not near to being paid off?

Take Real Estate that is in a different county than the judgement is in?
