More details to this question:
My boyfriend apparently has a judgment from 2012. I did not know about this but last year i bought a property with my money but put him on deed now the attorney that had judgment on him is trying to foreclose on the portion that his name is on. What can i do to protect my purchase of the property since I paid for it?

Is the property you and his homestead? Is it your primary residence or is it a rental? If it is your homestead, have you filed for homestead tax exemption (it is just an indicator that it is your homestead, not mandatory)?
If the property is your boyfirend's homestead, and depending on the type of judgment, the attorney may be precluded from foreclosing.
