Domestication of a foreign judgment, whether it be a divorce judgment or not, is a process where the judgment of a foreign courts is recognized by the Florida Courts.
Once the judgment has been recognized by the Florida Courts, then you will receive a Florida Final Judgment for your foreign divorce judgment and you can proceed with collecting the monies owed to you by your ex-spouse through garnishment, liens, or even a collection agency.
However, you cannot begin any of these collection methods for property in Florida, whether it be real property or personal property, until the foreign judgment is recognized by the Florida Courts and you obtain a Florida Final Judgment for your foreign divorce judgment or other type of judgment.
