Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I had a final judgement regarding a case which I closed my business in 2008 because of the bad economy...I personally wanted to talk with the landlord regarding the remainder of the lease but my partners over-ruled me, at the time, we still had a lease to 2009... which included my partners and my personal guarantee.

Both of my partners want to file bankruptcy to avoid the judgment... I do not.

can I appeal the decision of the court since I was never notified to appear in court?

what can I do?
