I have an order from another state, but would like to have it recognized here in Florida for the purpose of enforcement. Is another state’s order enforceable here?

Florida authorities will only act on an order issued in Florida. Unless you are familiar with the procedure involved in having your order either registered or domesticated in Florida, it is in your best interest to contact an attorney, or, in child support cases, the Department of Revenue 850-488-KIDS (5437).
