John J. STOCKER, Appellant, v. Anna T. STOCKER, Appellee.
    No. 2D12-4980.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Sept. 18, 2013.
    Stacy L. Sherman of Stacy L. Sherman, P.A., Fort Myers, for Appellant.
    Robert L. Donald of Law Office of Robert L. Donald, Fort Myers; and Brooke N. Martinez of The Pavese Law Firm, Fort Myers, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Because lack of personal jurisdiction in the domesticating state is not a ground to refuse enforcement of a foreign judgment, we affirm. See Hinchee v. Golden Oak Bank, 540 So.2d 262, 263 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989) (“It is well established that a foreign judgment may be challenged on grounds that the foreign court lacked jurisdiction over the person.” (emphasis added)); see also In re Estate of O’Keefe, 833 So.2d 157, 160 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002) (discussing grounds to challenge a foreign judgment).
