...Since the Colorado order was a final judgment and emanated from a “child custody proceeding” within the meaning of section
61.503(4), Florida Statutes (2013), 2 it became enforceable in Florida pursuant to the Full Faith and Credit Clause as well as section
61.526, Florida Statutes. See id.; §

...In the present case,
however, we hold the trial court did abuse its discretion by failing
to accord full faith and credit due the Kentucky Domestic Violence
Order of Protection under 18 U.S.C. § 2265(a) 1 and section
741.315(2), Florida Statutes (2016). 2 See also §
61.526(1), Fla....
...2265, an injunction for
protection against domestic violence issued by a court of
a foreign state must be accorded full faith and credit by
the courts of this state and enforced by a law enforcement
agency as if it were the order of a Florida court . . . .

enforcement under ss.

§
61.503(4), Fla. Stat. (2013) (emphasis added). As can be seen, the
petition for domestication of foreign judgment and notice of registration
filed by the mother, pursuant to sections
61.526 and
61.528, respectively,
are expressly not included as “child custody proceedings” under the
UCCJEA....
...ild custody
proceeding” under the definition in the UCCJEA before the trial court can
have jurisdiction to act upon a petition to domesticate a foreign custody
order. To the contrary, both the statute governing domestication of a
foreign judgment (section
61.526) and registration of a judgment (section
61.528) are contained within Florida’s UCCJEA statutes....
...Since section
61.519 expressly states that the court may not exercise jurisdiction under
sections
61.514-61.524, the simultaneous proceedings statute did not bar
the trial court’s jurisdiction to entertain the mother’s petition to
domesticate under section
61.526 or the notice she filed under section
61.528.
Proper Statutory Application
The proper statute which the trial court should have applied was
section
61.526, Florida Statutes (2013). Section
61.526 states:
A court of this state shall recognize and enforce a child
custody determination of a court of another state if the latter
court exercised jurisdiction in substantial conformity with
this part or the det...
...for a modification of a domesticated order. See §
61.516, Fla. Stat. (2013).
