You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further. Similar questions like this have been asked repeatedly.
Not all matters can be handled by yourself, nor are there readily available forms for all matters. I would suggest that you retain an attorney to help you with this matter.

You have to record the Alabama judgment here in Florida. It can be done in any county at any recording office (where you would go to record the deed to your house). There is a fee and some requirements, but that's where you start.
