Q: Where can I find judgments, filings, complaints, and divorce decrees (orders), or other case documents or information? A: You must contact the clerk's office at the court where your case was handled. You may find trial court clerks' phone numbers, street addresses, and website addresses through .flclerks.

The Length of a Judgment A judgment is good, and can be enforced, for up to 20 years. That seems like a long time, and it is. A judgment is good for 10 years and Florida allows a creditor to “renew” a judgment before the expiration of the 10 years for an additional 10 years, thus giving a judgment almost unending life.
You can access all public dockets and available case documents using the new Appellate Case Information System (ACIS) at . Attorneys of record and self-represented litigants wanting greater access to documents in their cases must register in the new system.
In addition to caption requirements, the motion must: (1) be in writing; (2) be signed by the party or party attorney making the motion; (3) state the grounds on which it is based; (4) be served on the adverse party; and (5) be alleged specifically and be sworn to by the defendant.
The Florida Courts E-Filing Portal is a single statewide website where users can file court documents in Florida's trial and appellate courts. E-filing is the electronic filing of documents to the clerk's office.
