If you are sued for a credit card that was charged off in 2000 can they garnish your wages in Florida?

Yes. If you are sued and judgment awarded against, your wages can be garnished. Well, sort of... Florida is what is known as a "debtor friendly" state. Assets that can be attached by creditors are limited.For example, wage garnishment for the head of household.. the first $500 is exempt. Anything above the $500 can be garnished only with the written consent of the debtor. As you can see this makes it pretty difficult for the creditor. Marital bank accounts cannot be garnished. Under Florida law they are protected by the Tenancy By the Entirety Statute. Other bank accounts can be garnished, but with strict limitations. To find out all the property exempt from creditors, search "Florida Bankruptcy Exemptions."

Is there alimony for unmarried co-inhabitant couples in Florida?

Alimony is for spouses so if you weren't married (and Florida does not recognize common law marriage) then you're not a spouse and therefore do not qualify for alimony. You could *possibly* sue for palimony (it's like alimony, but with unmarried couples who cohabited instead of spouses), but it's rarely awarded in any state.
