When transferring jurisdiction to General Session as opposed to Family Court, what accompanies the transfer?

• A. transferred with papers, docs, and testimony
• B. child taken immediately to the place of detention
• C. within 30 days, can request transfer if they committed murder or CSC
• D. No transfer allowed

Answer: (A)

Moving the case from Family Court to General Session carries the entire record with it. The transfer is accompanied by papers, documents, and testimony, so the new court has all the filings, evidence, and prior witness testimony needed to proceed without starting over. This continuity helps the General Session understand the history of the case and makes the transition smooth. The other options don’t fit because custody actions aren’t part of the transfer itself, timeframe rules aren’t the defining feature, and saying no transfer is allowed isn’t accurate in jurisdictions where such transfers occur.
