§ 3109.46.
If the court to which notice is sent under section 3109.44 of the Revised Code is a juvenile court that issued a custody order described in that section, the court
shall retain jurisdiction over the order. If the court to which notice is sent is not a juvenile court but the court issued
a custody order described in that section, the court shall transfer jurisdiction over
the custody order to the juvenile court of the county in which the child has a residence
or legal settlement. On receipt of the notice in cases in which the custody order was issued by a juvenile
court or after jurisdiction is transferred, the juvenile court with jurisdiction shall
terminate the custody order. The termination order shall be treated as a complaint filed under section 2151.27 of the Revised Code alleging the child subject of the custody order to be a dependent child. If a juvenile court issued the terminated custody order under a prior juvenile proceeding
under Chapter 2151. of the Revised Code in which the child was adjudicated an abused,
neglected, dependent, unruly, or delinquent child or a juvenile traffic offender,
the court shall treat the termination order as a new complaint.
