Can you have a visitation hearing transferred from Tennessee to Georgia?

Cases are not transfered from one state to another. If there is a case in Tennessee retain a lawyer there to defend it.

If you find this answer helpful, please mark it here on AVVO as helpful. In answering you, I am attempting to communicate general legal information and am not representing you (and am not your lawyer). Any information in this communication is for discussion purposes only, and is not offered as legal advice. There is no right to rely on the information contained in this communication and no attorney-client relationship is formed. Nothing in my answer should be considered as tax-advice. To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, any U.S. federal tax advice provided in this communication is not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by the recipient or any other taxpayer (i) for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties that may be imposed on the recipient or any other taxpayer, or (ii) in promoting, marketing or recommending to another party a partnership or other entity, investment plan, arrangement or other transaction addressed herein. Note that I am only licensed in Georgia and thus cannot practice in other states. I am also required to advise you, if your question concerns bankruptcy, that the U.S. Congress has designated Ashman Law Office as a debt relief agency that can help people file bankruptcy.

The case cannot be transferred from one state to another but in your daughter's case it sounds like Tennessee has jurisdiction since she only recently relocated to GA and has not had sufficient time to establish residency in GA.

No, cases cannot be transferred from jurisdiction to jurisdiction at the whim of the parties. After the case is closed, you may have grounds to domesticate the order in Georgia and then force all future litigation to occur in Georgia, but you cannot do that now.
