Q: Is JUD-100 the correct form to turn a CA Family Law Order into a Judgment or is there a specific family law form?
I have a CA Court Order that orders ex-husband to pay X dollar amount. I need to turn it into a judgment to domesticate it in another state. Also, will this require filing an RFO to turn the Order into a judgment?

A:
Yes, the JUD-100 form is the correct form to turn a California family law order into a judgment. You will need to fill out the form and file it with the court that issued the original order.
It may also be helpful to consult with an attorney or legal aid organization to ensure that you follow all necessary steps and procedures for domesticating the judgment in another state.
As for whether an RFO (Request for Order) is required, it would depend on the specific circumstances of your case and the requirements of the state where you are seeking to domesticate the judgment. It may be best to consult with an attorney or legal aid organization for guidance on this matter.
