Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I live in Florida and last August, I had to evict my tenants for failure to pay rent. They owed me approx $2,500. I re-rented the house in November, but those tenants moved out (no notice) in April. I picked up the package of documents from the County's Clerk of the Court Office to file judgements. But, it will cost me about $400 per judgement and I have to prove that they (the tenants) have possessions worth the amount that they owe me that could be sold to satisfy their debt to me. Isn't there any way I can pursue this in court to get a judgement for the amount that they owe me and garnish their wages or have court ordered payments made to me? Thank you for your time.

You must file the action and ask for garnishment of wages.
