small claims court reciprocity between NJ,FL

[pryzm]

What is the name of your state? Florida

Can I use a default small claims court judgement from Florida to collect in New Jersey? Will NJ recognise the Florida court?

The person I have the default against lives in NJ.

If so, can you give me a clue about what steps may need to be taken?
TIA
Michael

Will have to file a domestication into the New Jersey court system (which, BTW, is VERY confusing and not recommended for the layperson!!
