What you did with your mother should probably stay within the family.

As long as it's a regionally accredited university the credits should transfer. I'm sure there is some interdisciplinary studies major or something similar at most schools that will have it count towards that degree.

Maybe he really likes Tech but thought Jazzy-G was a assclown? I think we can all relate....

I would assume/hope he is a grad transfer this time. Or maybe he already was last time. He is on the Lucas Johnson plan. Might end up with multiple free grad degrees and a few NIL bucks in his pocket before he enters the real world.

The school has to have a corresponding course. Even then they review the syllabus to make sure there is substantial overlap in classes. It has nothing to do with the course or the difficulty of the course - all about whether the new school has a course that matches.
For instance, if you take Quantum Mechanics at Tech and earn an A then transfer to uGA who doesn’t have a Quantum Mechanics course, you get no credit.

In my experience, they would give you transfer credit toward your degree if it can be applied as a free elective taken at another school. You generally don't get credit toward your major unless there is such a course in the curriculum that is available as an elective.

Tech does this, if they feel the course is rigorous and should be counted. If you take a math class at MIT that Tech doesn’t offer, they can give credit for “Math Elective.”
If there is no field or corresponding course, for example if you took a Family Studies course then transfer to Tech - no dice. Same goes if you take a course Tech doesn’t believe is rigorous (like “College Algebra.”)
If you have experience transferring schools, you should know that each time you leave credit hours on the table because of no corresponding match. Someone on their 4th college in 4 years is at best a sophomore by credit in a “University Studies” major.

Not sure if this is the case, but many schools offer “University Studies” or “College Studies” or similar where you can graduate with 120 hours from any courses. Every school I’ve been affiliated with has had some state requirements (like Georgia requires English I & II, Government, etc) but any other classes can be used to fulfill the remaining hours.
If you start in that degree then transfer to a college without that, you’re going to have a bad time.
Edit: why do they have those degrees? The stated intent is for students who want to create a curriculum that doesn’t exist by combining classes from multiple degrees. The real reason is for people who drop their major late and can’t put together another major in time.
