Yes. You need to file a Petition in the Circuit Court of the county where you now live to both domesticate and enforce the Final Judgment in Georgia. Once the judgement is domesticated, it becomes a Florida judgment and can be enforced in our state. You should have a lawyer’s help with the Petition for domestication and enforcement.
Good luck!
