Theresa,

I'm a land title abstractor in Florida. In my state a judgement can attached to property that is not homesteaded, thats if they certify it. Which means that they file it twice in the same county Public Records that the land is located. It could possibly attach to your homstead property too. Depending whose name the property is in and who the judgement is against. Say you and your husband have homestead property titled in both of your names and so is the judgment, it could possibly attach. Its my personal experience that credit card companies can seize any property or garnish wages, its against the law. If they file a cert. judgement only means that it will keep you from borrowing any money on your property, bank will not loan you money if they can not get the property insured and the title company will not insure if there is a cert/ judgement. Good Luck
