Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

I cosigned for an apartment for my grandson to go to college, now he can't afford the rent and neither can I, I retired and receive soc sec and a very small pension, if the apartment complex takes me to court for back rent and/or late fees, can they garnish my retirement benefits, and should I tell the aparment complex that they cannot garnish my wages in hopes of them not taking me to court because its 400 miles away?

If they obtain a judgment against you, they can attempt to garnish your benefits. Pensions are exempt.
