How long does a party have to enforce a Florida divorce agreement or judgment? There is a time limit, called a statute of limitations. According to the Florida Statutes, “[a]n action on a judgment or decree of a court of record in this state” must be commenced “[w]ithin twenty years.” 1 § 95.11(1), Fla. Stat. (2020). Waiting too long to take action may result in a party not being able to obtain the relief he or she received from the court. This was an issue in the case Rai v. Rai, 5D21-751 (Fla. 5th DCA February 11, 2022).

An example of disqualification is when one party alleges it would be unfair to have the other party represented by a certain lawyer because that lawyer also represented the alleging party in a separate but related matter. In the case Reuschel v. Reuschel, 1D20-1039 (Fla. 1st DCA May 14, 2021), the husband appealed an order he believed granted the wife’s motion to disqualify counsel.
