Is there a Statute of Limitations in the State of Florida on collecting of a judgement that was awarded in a divorce case? If so, what is the time frame?

The holding in the Adams v. Adams case says that Florida judgments are good for 20 years, and that prior to expiry they may be sued upon to renew them.

It has been cited in subsequent cases:

Settlements don't have statutes of limitations. Statutes of limitation tell you how long you have to FILE a lawsuit after you have the right to file it.

If you file a divorce case in Florida, your case can be dismissed if you don't file anything in the court file for a year. It is not dismissed until either (1) the Petitioner files a Notice of Dismissal or (2) the judge orders it dismissed because nothing has been filed.

It depends on the type of debt. If it is based on a written contract, the SOL is 5 years. If it is an open account, like a credit card it is only 4 years. But the date that it begins to apply may be the last payment date.

    Legal: 10%
    Judgment: 10% or up to 18% if contractual
  • Florida Collection Laws Statute Of Limitations (Years)
    Open account: 4
    Written Contract: 5
    Domestic Judgment: 7 Renewable
    Foreign Judgment: 5 if not recorded instate
  • Florida Collection Laws Bad Check Laws (NSF) (Civil Penalty)
    After 30 day demand-treble amount in addition to amount owed, bank & court costs & reasonable attorney fees
  • Florida Collection Laws General Garnishment Exemptions

The time frame on debt collection is 5 years in Florida. Oral contracts and credit cards are going to be limited to 4 years. The time usually starts from the point of last payment or acknowledgment of the debt.
