Full Faith and Credit Law and Legal Definition
Full faith and credit is a legal principle which requires judges to validate and enforce judgments from other jurisdictions. It is often used in the context of domestic law, such as custody orders and orders of protection. For example, the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act require states to give full faith and credit to custody decisions rendered in other states.
