Ontario spousal judgment being enforced against Californian.
A 25 year married couple, who were both resident of Ontario, Canada obtained a divorce in Ontario, Canada. A judgement was obtained against the husband for support payments. The husband moved to California and lives with his new multi-millionaire wife and is refusing to pay the alimony. Does the wife have to start court proceedings all over in California? What is the best way to get him to pay?

Get an "exemplified" copy of the Canada judgment and it should be enforceable in California, you will need California counsel one you have done this.

With the copy of the judgment from Canada you should retain a local attorney to proceed in California. Is the father exercising his visitaion right?
