I am a business creditor located outside Florida, but within the United States. How can I pursue a Florida debtor for unpaid invoices, breach of contract, or other business/commercial claims?
A. You have two potential avenues for pursuing a debtor in Florida. 1. You may pursue a Florida debtor by filing a lawsuit in the county where the debtor has its principal place of business. After obtaining a judgment against the debtor, a creditor can then execute its judgment by pursuing assets of the debtor. 2. You may also have the right to sue a debtor in your home state. Once a judgment is obtained, the home state judgment can be domesticated to Florida. Once the judgment is properly domesticated, recorded and docketed in Florida, a creditor can then execute its judgment by pursuing the assets of the debtor.
