If a judgment is obtained in Alabama can it be enforced in another state?

Yes it can, because our Constitution requires states to give full faith and credit to acts taken in other states. However, another state does have the right to look into how the judgment was gotten and if it was gotten contrary to the public policy of the other state or illegally, then the other state might refuse to honor it.

Once you get a judgment from one state court, you can take it to the court of the state in which the defendant resides, and have it enforced against him.
The defendant will only be able to contest the judgment on the grounds that the court in the first case lacked personal jurisdiction over him, or otherwise violated his due process rights. Because he presumably got a fair hearing (or an opportunity for a fair hearing) in the first case, he cannot contest the judgment on the merits.
