Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

As you are now becoming painfully aware, obtaining a judgment is not even half the battle when it comes to actually collecting the money the Court has ruled you are entitled to. Where the defendant lives now may be relevant to the judgment collection process, but even more relevant would be whether the defendant is an individual or a business entity, what assets does the defendant own or have a right to receive that are not exempt from collection, and what legal procedures can you employ in order to discover the nature, extent, and location of the defendant's assets, if any, and to utilize your judgment to form a lien against such assets and possibly subject such assets to execution and seizure. I think you would be well advised to consult with an attorney who is experienced in the area of judgment collection so that all the pertinent information can be assessed and a collection strategy developed.
