Domestication of Foreign Judgments for Enforcement in Florida
A court order issued in another state or country must be formally recognized in Florida before it can be enforced. This process, known as domestication, allows the out of state or international order to be treated as a Florida judgment. Properly completing this step ensures that existing orders can be enforced and relied upon within the state.
