O.C.G.A. 15-11-30.5 (2010)
15-11-30.5. Transfer of jurisdiction over reunification plans
Whenever an order of disposition incorporates a reunification plan and the residence of the parent is not in the county of the court with jurisdiction or the residence of the parent changes to a county other than the county of the court with jurisdiction, the court may transfer jurisdiction to the juvenile court of the residence of the parent or parents to whom reunification is directed. Said transferring court shall provide the receiving court within 30 days of the filing of the transfer order with certified copies of the adjudication order, the order of disposition, the order of transfer, the case plan, and such other court documents deemed necessary by the sending court to enable the receiving court to assume jurisdiction over the matter. Compliance with this Code section shall terminate jurisdiction in the transferring court and initiate jurisdiction in the receiving court.
