Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maine

Disputed Earnest Money

We signed a form disputing the return of earnest money because they backed out of the sale of our house 2 days before closing. We have since sold the property and moved from Maine to Florida. They want to deal now.

My question is... Can they force us to appear in court in Maine if they decide to pursue legal action?
