Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Due to a recent divorce I have been order to pay my Ex a sum of money. The court has issued a judgement. I have paid the amount owed in full and the checks have been cashed. My ex is now refusing to sign and return to me the satisfaction of judgement so that I may have the lien released. What is course of action?

Believe it or not, there really isn't one. There is a statute in Florida that says, once a judgment is satisfied, a lien satisfaction must be filed. Unfortunately, the statute doesn't say what happens if the law is broken.
You might trying filing a motion for contempt in family court. It isn't strictly the proper thing to do, but it may work anyway. If her actions are causing you monetary damages (like you can't get a loan for your business or something), you can sue her.
