The steps to domesticate an order won't fit in the small space attorneys have here to answer. But this question matters: Why are you wanting to do this and what do you want to domesticate? (asked because it may not be necessary, appropriate or a good idea).
General note, and you would best be served by getting counsel, although you need to read all the following acts: Georgia has adopted the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgment Act (O.C.G.A. § 9-12-130 et. seq.), the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (O.C.G.A. § 19-11-100 et. seq.), and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (O.C.G.A. § 19-9-40 et. seq.). These laws may affect your foreign judgment.
