12-1702. Filing and status of foreign
judgments


A copy of any foreign judgment authenticated in accordance with the act of Congress
or the statutes of this state may be filed in the office of the clerk of any superior
court of this state. The clerk shall treat the foreign judgment in the same manner as a
judgment of the superior court of this state. A judgment so filed has the same effect
and is subject to the same procedures, defenses and proceedings for reopening, vacating,
or staying as a judgment of a superior court of this state and may be enforced or
satisfied in like manner.
