Domesticating a court order in another state
My divorce took place in VA, my ex husband lives in FL, how do I domesticate the order in FL so it can be enforced/recognized in both states?

You should only consider domesticating the Virginia decree in Florida if there's some good reason for it such as it is not being complied with and requires enforcement in the latter state.
