Fla. Fam. L. R. P. 12.240
Interpleader
Persons having claims against the petitioner may be joined as
parties and required to interplead when their claims are such that
the petitioner is or may be exposed to double or multiple liability. It
is not ground for objection to the joinder that the claim of the
several claimants or the titles on which their claims depend do not
have common origin or are not identical but are adverse to and
independent of one another, or it is alleged that the petitioner is not
liable in whole or in part to any or all of the claimants. A party
exposed to similar liability may obtain such interpleader by way of
crossclaim or counterpetition. The provisions of this rule
supplement and do not in any way limit the joinder of parties
otherwise permitted.
