Mandis, 53 So.2d 704 (Fla. 1951); State ex rel Molter v. Johnson, 107 Fla. 47, 144 So. 299 (1932); Ohio Butterine Company v. Hargrave, 79 Fla. 458, 84 So. 376 (1920); Liberman v. Kelso, 354 So.2d 137 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978); Bendl v. Bendl, 246 So.2d 574 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971). The rule applies when the judgment is for arrears in alimony due to an ex-wife as with any other judgment.
