A: I cannot answer your question about the basis for the default because I can't examine the court file. Default judgments are taken without the knowledge of the defendant (you), hence the term.

There is no treaty between the U. S. and the Kingdom of Jordan for the recognition of judgments; however, an Oklahoma judgment (state or federal) can be lodged in your country by following the local procedure in local courts in Jordan. I strongly suggest you seek counsel from a lawyer in Jordan to defend the action to "domesticate" the judgment.

An alternative is to hire an Oklahoma lawyer to seek to have the judgment set aside because of lack of notice, but when you do that you may find that you have submitted to the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma court.
